JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Argentina leads 2-1 over South Korea thanks to Gonzalo Higuain's header and an own goal by Park Chu-young after 75 minutes of their Group B match at the World Cup on Thursday.
South Korea's Lee Chung-yong pulled a goal back in first-half injury time at Soccer City after an error from Argentina's defense.
Lionel Messi's corner seemed to touch Argentina defender Martin Demichelis before hitting Park and going into the net in the 17th minute.
Higuain headed a bouncing ball in the 33rd after Nicolas Burdisso had flicked on a cross from Maxi Rodriguez.
South Korea forward Yeom Ki-hun hit the side netting in the 58th with a left-footed shot from inside the penalty area.
