Park Ji-sung helped to continue Greece's miserable World Cup record as South Korea secured a 2-0 victory at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth
The Manchester United midfielder struck seven minutes after the break to double his side's advantage following central defender Lee Jung-soo's seventh-minute opener.
Huh Jung-moo's side ultimately ran out comfortable winners in front of an army of their delighted fans among a crowd of 31,513 as Greece's fourth World Cup finals outing ended in the same way as the pervious three, with defeat and without a goal scored.
