World Cup qualifiers: No player should feel pressure to take over Neymar\u2019s role in Brazil, says coach<\/a><\/p>\nSouth Korea dominated possession at Seoul World Cup Stadium but they had nothing to show for it until Cho Gue-sung struck in the 44th minute.<\/p>\n
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Lee Kang-in sent a curling cross into the box and FC Midtjylland forward Cho caught the visiting defenders napping to sneak in behind and slot the ball home.<\/p>\n
Cho had struck the crossbar with a volley on 34 minutes, one of several opportunities that South Korea failed to convert in the opening half. The hosts also had a goal ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n
Four minutes after the restart it was 2-0 when Hwang Hee-chan of Wolverhampton Wanderers headed home for his second goal in as many matches for his country.<\/p>\n
After Singapore had a goal chalked off for offside, skipper and talisman Son made it three with a delicious left-footed curler from outside the box just after the hour.<\/p>\n
Hwang Ui-jo of Norwich City scored a penalty to make it four and PSG\u2019s Lee put the finishing touch on an easy victory with a left-footed strike on 85 minutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe needed to have patience,\u201d said Klinsmann.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very, very difficult to play teams like Singapore who basically come, first of all, to defend with two blocks of five, so pretty much 10 players in front of their goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
