The poor run of form continues for the Ivory Coast as they fell to South Korea 2-0 on Wednesday in England. A 4th minute volley from Lee Dong-gook opened the scoring early on and set the tone for the entire match.
With rumours of Guus Hiddink possibly taking charge the Ivory Coast were still leaderless as they searched for a breakthrough the entire afternoon. Dindane and Didier Drogba were never able to finish an attack even though Ivory Coast dominated long stretches of play.
South Korea put it away in the 90th minute as Ivory Coast were pushing players forward for the tying goal. Instead it was Tae-Hwi Kwak heading home a free kick late on providing the 2-0 final margin.
South Korea coach Huh Jung-moo stated afterwards, "We played very well and it is a good win for us but there is a lot of work still to do before the World Cup. We are not meeting again until May now but I will give the players homework to do on our opponents."
