South Korea and Japan played to a scoreless draw in a friendly soccer match held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Tuesday night.

With the draw, the South Korean national soccer team has put up one win, one draw and one loss since coach Cho Kwang-rae took the helm of the team following the World Cup in South Africa.

South Korea also maintained its dominant lead in matches against rival Japan with a record of 40 wins, 12 losses and 40 draws.

South Korea's Park Chu-young shaved the bar with a brave header for the South Koreans while Japan's Keisuke Honda came close to scoring via two long-range efforts.

South Korean captain Park Ji-sung who plays for the Manchester United in England did not play in the match due to a knee injury.
