South Korea assistant coach Sergio Costa said Monday's 3-2 defeat by Ghana was an unfair result for the Asian side, whose World Cup campaign is stalling with the team rooted to the bottom of Group H.
Cho Gue-sung's brace was not enough for South Korea to pull off a comeback against Ghana in a match in which the Koreans dominated the opening exchanges but paid the price for making errors.
"In the first 25 minutes, we were able to control the game with ball possession which was very good. We made good passes and fulfilled our strategy for the match. After the first goal, things changed until the end of the first half," Costa said. South Korea players looked dejected after the game as they fell to the ground, while captain and key player Son Heung-min was in tears.
