Korea Republic claimed the first victory at 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa as a goal early in each half made it a disappointing start for Group B opponents Greece.
Korea were the dominant force for virtually all of the first half in the Port Elizabeth Stadium although they had to withstand some initial pressure from Greece with Vasileios Torosidis seeing an effort fly off target. The same player should then have scored following Georgios Karagounis' corner but he put a decent chance wide from nine yards.
brilliant result from an impressive side could be a threat so some teams if they understimate them
