South Korea started the FIFA world cup 2010 on a fantastic note. It continued where it left from in 2002 performance. South Korea won 2-0 from Greece. South Korea was favorites from start playing its 7th consecutive world cup whereas this was Greece's only 2nd appearance and it started on a lacklustre note. In 1994, the Greeks let Argentina score just two minutes into the opening game. The Greeks improved this time around – by five minutes.
Lee Jung-soo and Park Ji-sung each scored and South Korea won 2-0 over lackluster Greece in Saturday's first Group B match. Ki Sung-yong curled in a free kick from near the left corner flag in the seventh minute, and the ball brushed the top of Konstantinos Katsouranis' head before reaching Lee at the far post. The central defender tapped it into an unguarded net. Park Ji-sung doubled the lead in the 52nd with a slick solo goal when the Manchester United midfielder intercepted a misplaced pass from Vassilis Torosidis and skipped past two defenders before slipping a shot beyond goalkeeper Alexandros Tzorvas.
"We really have to get our act together," Rehhagel, Greece coach said. "We've got to improve a couple of things and be brave and courageous enough."
