GolVolt Recap

South Africa ground out a 1-0 victory over Korea Republic in Group A at Monterrey Stadium. Thapelo Maseko provided the decisive breakthrough in the 63rd minute. From there, the match devolved into a fractured scrap rather than a fluid contest. Aubrey Modiba took a yellow card in the 73rd minute to disrupt the Korean response, and Gue-sung Cho earned a booking of his own six minutes later. South Africa simply suffocated the final exchanges in Guadalupe to secure the points.
