After the Argentine penalty corner, the Korean side went on the offence and got a penalty corner themselves. Variation was tried and the hitter messed up the shot as well. Then again the ball went to the Korean attackers on the right side of the post who tried to hit the ball to the goal but there was no force on the shot, the ball bounced here and there and ended up at yet another Korean player Jeong Jun-woo who eventually put the ball in the goal. 

 

The goal was challenged by the Argentines and they lost their referral.

Argentina vs Korea Live Score, Hockey World Cup: Great defending from the Korean side

 

After conceding the goal with very bad defending, Korea have done well in the first-ever penalty corner defence. The drag flick wasn’t great but the ball went straight to the waiting attacker near the right post of the Korean goal the Argentine attacker went for the goal and the goalkeeper made a brilliant save. There was another shot on the rebound he saved it again. Then the ball went for a side hit after being hit out by the Korean defenders.
