International Friendly: South Korea 2-0 Finland - Taeguk Warriors Win
Posted Tuesday, January 19, 2010 by Goal.com
A useful win for the 2002 semi-finalists.
South Korea defeated Finland 2-0 in a friendly on Monday in Malaga, Spain.
It was the fourth match of the Asian team’s winter training camp and the first to take place in Europe after the Koreans played three games in South Africa last week.
In an open and entertaining game on a sunny Spanish afternoon, both goals came from defenders.
Right-back Oh Beom-seok opened the scoring six minutes before the break and centre-back Lee Jang-soo added a second on the hour.
It was a welcome win for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers who lost to Zambia in Johannesburg and then drew with South African club Platinum Stars.
A 3-1 win over Bay United late last week ended the South African trip.
Korea continue their preparations with a game against Latvia on Friday.
Huh Jung-moo's men will take on Argentina, Nigeria and Greece in Group B of the World Cup in June.
