South Korea set the pace in Group G
South Korea beat Togo 2-1 to record their first victory on European soil to go 2 points clear after France drew with Switzerland 0-0 in the afternoon kick-off. Despite the turmoil surrounding the resignation and then the return of coach Otto Pfister, the Togolese took the lead through Mohammed Kader’s neat finish in the 31st minute. However, the South Koreans hit back in the second half. Togo captain Abalo was sent off for a second bookable offence following a foul on Park Ji Sung and Lee Chun Soo scored from the resulting free-kick, heavily assisted by Togo goalkeeper Kossi Agassa, who open his arms like a traffic policeman to wave the ball through. Ahn Jung Hwan then scored the winner with a great finish in the 72 minute. Both teams are relatively weak and likely to finish in the bottom two places of the group but mcuh still depends on whether France manage to raise themselves.
