GUANGZHOU: Three-time champion South Korea dealt another bodyblow to Chinese football with an impressive 3-0 win in the Asian Games last 16 on Monday. After struggling into the knockout stages, China was no match for the cultured and talented Koreans who now go on to face Uzbekistan for a place in the semifinals. South Korea had dominated the first half and could have gone in at the break at least three goals up. It had taken the lead after 19 minutes when a swift break down the left forced the stretched Chinese defence to furiously back-pedal. Cho Young-Cheol was left in plenty of space to gather the cross and slot the ball across to Kim Jung-Woo to score past Zhang Shichang in the China goal. Zhang then saved well from Park Chu-Young and Kim Bo-Kyung to keep the deficit down to one goal at the interval. But even Zhang was powerless to keep out the second goal, scored by Monaco's Park Chu-Young with a curling free-kick around the defensive wall four minutes into the second half. South Korea was now unstoppable and Kim Jung-Woo scored his second of the night after 57 minutes. Meanwhile, Qatar's Fahad Khalfan joined the ranks of football's greatest blunders when he missed an open goal from one yard as the defending champion crashed out. — AFP
