Jeonbuk Motors striker Lee Dong-gook has been included in South Korea’s 23-man World Cup squad by coach Huh Jung-moo with Lee Keun-ho, Shin Hyung-min and Koo Ja-cheol missing out.

Ballack’s moment of despair came on 71 minutes when he was cautioned for a foul outside the area on Lee.

Twenty-five minutes gone and still no breakthrough despite an unexpectedly open early spell.
