BTS' hit "Fake Love" which earlier successfully stormed the US Billboard chart has topped iTunes Mexico chart thanks to South Korea's win over Germany at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. The defending champions crashed out of the tournament after losing 2-0 to South Korea in Kazan on Wednesday. This is the first time since 1938 that Germany have failed to qualify from the group stage of the World Cup.

Earlier, the South Korean national team had been defeated 2-1 by the Mexican team. South Korea forward Son Heung-min said that he was so upset after his team lost 2-1 to Mexico in their second Group F match that he even couldn't keep from crying.

But thanks to the South Korean victory over Germany, Mexico, who won their first two games at the tournament, advanced to the knockout stage as Group F runners-up despite their 3-0 defeat by Sweden.
