South Korea beat Australia in friendly

South Korea beat Australia 3-1 in an international friendly this Saturday, eight years after the two teams last met.

The home side went ahead after just five minutes, as a mistake from Shane Stefanutto eventually allowed Park Chu-Young to send a low shot past keeper Schwarzer.

The second goal came 15 minutes later, this time with Lee Jang-Soo converting from close range.

Australia then got one back in the 33rd minute as Patrick Kisnorbo headed into an empty net from a Mark Bresciano corner kick, but Seol Ki-Hyeon celebrated his return to the national team by scoring for 3-1 with four minutes left.

The two teams last met at the 2001 Confederations Cup, a match won 1-0 by the Koreans.
