Apr 1, 2009 After four games against South Africa, Korea had 8 points with 2 wins and 2 draws, North Korea and Saudi Arabia had 10 points each with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in five games, and Iran had 6 points with 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 loss. If Korea wins this game, it will be first place in the group with 3 wins and 2 draws after all four teams have played at least five games. This game against North Korea on April 1, 2009 was important to Korea in two ways. First, it was directly related to advancing to the World Cup, and second, it had to put an end to the clear advantage in the North-South match that had been played four times in 2008 alone, all of which ended in draws.
