Summary

Lee Jung-soo and Park Ji-sung scored as South Korea earned a convincing 2-0 World Cup Group B win over Greece in Port Elizabeth. Lee blasted his side into a seventh-minute lead when the central defender volleyed home Ki Sung-yueng's free-kick into the box. Park Chu-young then went close with a couple of efforts, his second following a lightning break which almost caught the Greeks cold with goalkeeper Alexandros Tzorvas making a good save with his outstretched boot. Greece were poor value in the first period and any hopes they had of salvaging something from the game were extinguished seven minutes into the second period when Park made the most of an error to run at the Greek defence and slot a low shot past the advancing Tzorvas.
