South Korea cruised to a comfortable 4-1 victory over the United Arab Emirates in Seoul on Wednesday night to pick up their first win in Group 2 of the final round of the World Cup qualifiers.

Daegu's Lee Keun-ho opened the scoring for Huh Jung-moo's side in the 19th minute, and then Manchester United star Park Ji-sung doubled the advantage after 25 minutes. Although Ismail Al Hammadi pulled a goal back for the visitors in the 71st minute, Lee added his second and Korea's third in the 79th and Kwak Tae-hwi rounded off what turned out to be a comfortable scoreline with the fourth goal two minutes from time.

The victory moves South Korea on to four points from their opening two games, and they will travel to Riyadh to face Saudi Arabia in their next qualifier on November 19th.
