FIFA World Cup™ hosts South Africa and fellow qualifiers Korea DPR drew 0-0 Thursday in a hastily arranged warm-up match ahead of the global tournament this June and July.
The Koreans flew from their Spanish base for the game in Germany between the lowest ranked teams of the 32 qualifiers for the first world finals to be hosted by Africa.
The goalless outcome was no surprise as South Africa, who lacked unavailable Europe-based stars like midfielders Steven Pienaar of Everton and captain Aaron Mokoena of Portsmouth, have struggled to score. Bafana Bafana (The Boys) managed just one goal in a home draw with minnows Namibia last month and it took a sizzling Siphiwe Tshabalala drive to force a similar result away to Paraguay later in March.
