Posted by nukester on 6/15/10 • Categorized as Top Stories
Brazil 2 Korea DPR 1
Brazil secured a 2-1 win against Korea DPR but they were made to work extremely hard to secure maximum points after the Asian outsiders showed impressive resilience.
Portugal 0 Cote D’Ivoire 0
Although much has been said about the attacking power of Côte d’Ivoire and Portugal, the two Group G giants proved themselves solid at the back, cancelling each other out in a scoreless draw in Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth.
New Zealand 1 Slovakia 1
A last-gasp Winston Reid header snatched New Zealand an improbable draw against a dominant Slovakia side in their Group F opener in Rustenburg. Robert Vittek had put the Europeans in front, also with his head, in the 50th minute but the All Whites hit back for a result that leaves the section’s four sides level on one point – and goal difference – after Italy and Paraguay also drew 1-1 yesterday.
