Soccer Team Gives Fans 2-0 Present

The national soccer team on Friday gave its fans a treat in its final home game before the World Cup.

In a 2-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina at Seoul World Cup Stadium, strikers Seol Ki-hyeon and Cho Jae-jin each scored second-half goals to offset a disappointing first half.

Despite threatening several times in the first half thanks to an energetic Lee Chun-soo at right wing, South Korea failed to get on the scoreboard.

In the 50th minute, however, forward Ahn Jung-hwan shot a long cross into the Bosnian goal that was saved, but Seol headed the deflection into the net.

In injury time, Cho took a short pass from forward Park Chu-young in front of the penalty box and blasted the ball into the goal for the final score.

Thousands amassed in downtown Seoul to cheer the national team, which will leave for Europe Saturday to play a friendly game against Norway in Oslo Thursday and another versus Ghana in Scotland on June 4th.
