South Korea 2, Togo 1

This was one of those fun games because it matched up two totally random countries. I was only dimly aware that Togo existed until about a week ago. South Korea were the favorites, having reached the semis four years ago, but Togo got the early lead with a cracking goal from Kader Mohamed. But the game turned early in the second half when Togo went down to 10 men. South Korea scored on the ensuing free kick and added another about 20 minutes later. Good effort from Togo, even better win for Korea.

Goal scorers:

Kader Mohamed (31'), Togo (1-0)
Chun-Soo Lee (54'), Korea (1-1)
Jung-Hwan Ahn (72'), Korea (2-1)
