South Korea beats Finland 2-0 in friendly

Oh Beom-seok and Lee Jeong-soo scored to give South Korea a 2-0 win over Finland in an international friendly match played in Spain on Monday.

Oh won a battle for the ball inside the area in the 39th minute to open the scoring at the Ciudad de Malaga Stadium.

Lee added the second in the 61st after converting a pass from the flank.

The victory was World Cup-bound South Korea's first against Finland.
