LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Lee Dong-Gook scored in the first half and Lee Woon-Jae made a crucial save late in the game to give South Korea a 1-0 victory over Mexico in an exhibition matchup Wednesday night.

Both teams will play in this summer's World Cup in Germany.

 
Lee Dong-Gook scored in the 15th minute after Lee Chun-Soo took a 23-yard free kick from the left flank that Mexico goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez caught on one bounce. Sanchez then flipped the ball forward into open space but before he could kick it, Lee Dong-Gook pounced on the ball and scored from 11 yards.

Mexico's best scoring chance came in second-half stoppage time. Lee Woon-Jae had to dive toward the right post to deflect Omar Bravo's diving header from 7 yards out.

Lee Woon-Jae, who started in the 1994 and 2002 World Cups, made three saves for the shutout in his 91st international appearance.

Mexico played without defender Rafael Marquez and forward Jared Borgetti, the national team's all-time leading goal scorer. Both competed in the 2002 World Cup and are expected to make the 2006 World Cup team.

Marquez and Borgetti remained with their European clubs.

South Korea coach Dick Advocaat remained at home in the Netherlands because of the death of his mother-in-law. Assistant coach Pim Verbeek served as the interim coach.

I just amazed by how much quality friendlies the USA, Coast Rica and Mexico done play since World Cup qualification. Since then we use we local players to play team like FIU and some Honduras club. I mean we local players can't go up against some better valuable opponents. That is how you does know them other three teams in Concacaf a step higher than teams like Trinidad. But i wouldn't lie we getting up there closer as days pass by but we have alot of grounds to cover.

TNT have sum decent games.. Remember Mexico and USA players are mostly locally based so right now dey aint gettin a swet, except for the Friendlies.  .. Almost all of TNT players are playing regularly because dey are based in England and Scotland.. ...
warmonga..

I saw the incident, it had look like the keeper thought the ref blow his whistle.  He made a motion like blowin a whistle.

TI, we got invited to the Saudi tournament, right after we qualified and most of our players went back to the clubs in Europe. At that time we did not have a team that could have adequately represented T&T. We are in a unique position, we only have 1.2 million and we certainly do not have a strong domestic league like the US or Mexico. This was discussed on this board already.

As far as organization is concerned, we are far behind the 2 tops teams in the Concacaf, so stop comparing, we are making progress.
