too strong

the second round of matches for GROUP B began with Argentina taking on South Korea. Gonzalo Higuain scored a hat-trick as Argentina scored an impressive win. Argentina took the lead as early as the 17th minute as Park Chu-young scored an own goal. Higuain then doubled the advantage after 33 minutes, but a lapse in concentration from Martin Demichelis on the stroke of half-time allowed Lee Chung-yong to give his side hope. after the restart South Korea pressed on for the equaliser, and boy, did they play better than the first half! Yeom Ki-hun should have drawn his side level after 55 minutes when he was put clean through on the right following a quick break, but found the side netting after opting to use his left foot instead of the right. it proved to be the last of the best chances for South Korea, as Argentina attacked more after that. chances dried up, and Maradona threw in Sergio Aguero for Carlos Tevez. The moved proved a hit with the Atletico Madrid forward playing in Messi on the left - his initial shot was blocked by Jung and the rebound shot hit the base of the left upright and fell to Higuain for a simple tap-in. That was in the 76th minute and four minutes later the Real Madrid star completed his hat-trick after nodding in Aguero's cross at the back post. but the star of the match was Lionel Messi, who, desperate to open his account in South Africa, had many shots but wasted them. OVERALL - a good performance by Argentina, who are showing their critics that they too can be serious contenders. S.Korea meanwhile have to get focused for their third match and not let this mistakes repeat again.
