"Having initially struggled to break down their visitors at the Daejeon World Cup Stadium, South Korea eventually wrapped up the win with help from substitute Cho Gue-Sung on his return to the national team. The hosts started strong, with Lee Jae-Sung seeing two headers kept out by Guillermo Viscarra, while Enzo Monteiro also went close for Bolivia, only narrowly missing the post just after the half-hour mark."
"However, it was South Korea who found the breakthrough in the 57th minute with a free-kick just outside the box. Son stepped up, bending a wonderful strike over the top of the wall and into the top-left corner, giving Viscarra no chance. Myung-Bo Hong's side continued to push and doubled their lead in the 88th minute through Cho, who had come on to replace Son just over 10 minutes earlier."

Cho returned to the national team and finished from close range after defensive slackness. Son had five opposition-box touches, eight crosses and created two chances; Kim Jin-Gyu created four.
