The Koreans were solid in the back, orderly at midfield, and inventive on the attack as they took it to the Greeks, heaping more disappointment on the beleaguered country.
The final whistle couldn鈥檛 come soon enough for Greece, as they were just hoping to avoid further embarrassment.
World-class striker Park Ji-sung showed why the Monitor picked him as one of our top players to watch in this World Cup when he gracefully wove through two defenders before chipping the ball past Greece鈥檚 goalkeeper for South Korea鈥檚 second goal.
