The South Korean national soccer team has won its first match in Thailand’s King’s Cup tournament against the host nation.

South Korea routed the Thai team on Sunday 3 to 1 in a strong showing of its offense.

Kim Dong-sub connected on a pass from Kim Min-woo to score the first goal, and Thailand equalized just nine minutes into the second half. But Korea netted two more goals by Seo Jung-jin in the 25th minute and Kim Hyun-sung ten minutes later to seal the victory.

The King’s Cup is a good test of the South Korean team's skills as it prepares for qualifying matches for the 2012 London Olympics.
