Two second-half goals gave South Korea the win and takes them to the top of the table with seven points from three matches. Saudi Arabia, with a win and a draw so far, have four points and are placed fourth.

Despite numerous attempts on goal, neither side could break the deadlock in the first half.

Saudi Arabia were reduced to 10 men in the 58th minute when Naif Hazazi picked up his second yellow card of the match.

In the 76th minute Lee Kuen Ho slotted the ball past Saudi goalkeeper Waleed Ali after Lee Young Pyo chipped a ball from the left flank into the penalty box where Manchester United winger and South Korean captain Park Ji Sung crossed to the waiting Lee, who tapped the ball into the net.

The second goal came in injury time when substitute Park Chu Young's struck a powerful right-footed shot from just outside the penalty area to beat goalkeeper Ali for the second time.
