South Korea outclassed Greece in this match, and whilst Lee was not central to this he was part of the attacking force that could have scored more goals than the two they got in this match. Lee had chances of his own; he broke through on goal early in the match after Korea had gone 1-0 up and was brought down by the Greek defender - it perhaps should have been a penalty, however, at the end of the game they will not be too bothered by this. Towards the end of the match Lee had another strong shot on goal that was tipped around the post by the keeper after a speedy break by the Koreans. Overall he played an important role in an accomplished Korean attacking force.
Gekas was unfortunate to be the lone striker in a toothless force. Rehagel decided to pla Charisteas in a wing role, which didn't really help with the distribution towards the striker who appeared to play an ever more desperate role. A period of slight dominance by the Greeks led to a great Korean save from a Fanis Gekas shot, but overall he will be disappointed with the result and his contribution considering the braggadocio of his pre-match statements.
