A rebound off the crossbar by Jakub Błaszczykowski allowed Polish forward Robert Lewandowski to score the only goal in the first half to give Poland a 1-0 lead. South Korea only needed 10 minutes to score two goals in the second half to go ahead in the game. Similar to what happened in Korea in World Cup 2002, Poland allowed the much shorter Koreans to win headers and 1-on-1 battles.
In the 83rd minute, Błaszczykowski blocked a clearance attempt by a Korean defender and found himself alone against the keeper and confidently scored giving Poland a 2-2 draw. Most of Poland's offensive attacks were lead by Błaszczykowski. Arsenal striker Park Chu-young scored twice as South Korea drew 2-2 with Poland in an international friendly at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Friday.
Robert Lewandowski of Borussia Dortmund put Poland ahead after 32 minutes. South Korea hit back midway through the second half when Park scored his first from a Seo Jung-jin cross, beating his Arsenal teammate Lukasz Fabianski in the Poland goal.
With 14 minutes remaining, South Korea took the lead on a Park shot from the edge of the area.
