The Korea Republic scored a 3-1 victory over fellow Asian giants Australia in an entertaining encounter in Seoul.
It was Huh Jung-Moo’s men who began the match the sharpest and they were rewarded with the opening goal just six minutes into the match.
The Koreans pounced on an error by A-League defender Shane Stefanutto, Bolton Wanderers midfielder Lee Chung-Yong slipping the ball into the path of Park Chu-Young.
The Monaco striker made an intelligent run in behind a slightly lethargic Australian back-line and slid the ball past Mark Schwarzer from a narrow angle.
