In the last game of their overseas tour, South Korea defeated Mexico 1-0 in Los Angeles. Like the match against Costa Rica, the lone goal appeared to be scored against the run of play, but this time it favored the Koreans. LaVolpe said that his team were unlucky not to win; sports daily Esto said that the match should serve as a wake-up call to the national team. As well it should - Iran will be a much more difficult team than some in Mexico would like to admit.
UPDATE: If you read this report, and this one as well, some of the Mexican players say that the team didn't play that well and didn't deserve to win.
