PUSAN, June 4:- South Korea were strong and well-organised in beating Poland 2-0 on Tuesday and fully deserved their first World Cup finals victory, Poland coach Jerzy Engel said.

Engel said the tournament co-hosts would be very difficult to beat at home.

“This team is very good organised, is very strong and, I believe, here at home they will be very, very difficult to beat,” Engel said.

“It was a very difficult game for us,” he added. “They were better than us and unfortunately we had to lose.”

South Korea coach Guus Hiddink described the win as historic and praised the way his players took the game to Poland.
