Argentina 4-1 South Korea
Goal Scorers: Chu Young Park [own goal], Gonzalo Higuain [A] hat-rick & Chu Young Park [K]
The first hat-trick in the World Cup goes too... Gonzalo Higuain! Get your stripes ready, Albiceleste are going to win the trophy. Maradona's team did it, and now the road to last 16 seems clear. These are the teams that we want to see dazzle, and I still want to see a Messi goal. Although the genius created dazzling passes leading to goal, he failed to hit one in himself.
The first point, was an own goal by S.Korea's Chu Young Park, and then Gonzalo. The Real Madrid forward found his first goal after 33 minutes, easily heading in a cross from Rodriguez, after the ball had been flicked on as Korea set up an ill-advised offside trap.
Although they are the most impressively talented team here, they sometimes seem a bit uneasy. They need to get comfortable, and then they will be able to have resounding wins over the big teams.
The Asians pulled one back, when Lee C scored a goal seconds before halftime. It came after a terrible mistake by defender Martin Demichelis, who was unaware that Lee was just behind him. According to Lionel Messi, the vuvuzelas caused the defender to not hear their warning shouts, he also said that he had lost a couple of balls the same way.Argentina celebrated Higuain's second goal on 76 minutes, and on 80 minutes completed his hat-trick with cries of jubilation from the fans.
Maradona wearing his striking grey suit, earning him many more fans said: A headline to sum up today’s game? ‘Argentina were implacable.’
