The
last matchday in Group G of the FIFA World Cup 2010 brings on Friday the fixture between
Korea DPR and
Côte d'Ivoire at the
Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit. In the second game of Group G Portugal meets Brazil.
For Korea DPR the opponents in Group G were too strong so far. The underdog has lost the first two games and so they are out of the tournament after the group stage. The Koreans started the WC with a respectable 1:2 defeat against record champions Brazil. The second matchday brought a heavy 0:7 defeat against Portugal, where Korea DPR was especially in the second half without a chance.
In contrast to their Fridays opponents Côte d'Ivoire still have a theoretical chance to advance to the Round of 16.
The Elephants needs a high win over Korea DPR and at the same time a victory of the Brazilians over Portugal. So the chances for Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side are just on a minimum. Côte d'Ivoire started the WC 2010 with a goalless draw against Portugal followed by a 1:3 defeat against Brazil.
