France coach disappointed over points lost

LEIPZIG: Coach Raymond Domenech said he was disappointed after France were held to a 1-1 draw by South Korea in World Cup Group G on Sunday.

"Of course I'm disappointed but we still have one match (against Togo) and we have to win that," Domenech said.

"We have to win that well in order to qualify and that remains our objective."

South Korea coach Dick Advocaat was very upbeat. "First of all I'm very happy with the result. In the second half we improved and as the game went on, sometimes we were able to control it," he said.

"From one of the few chances we had we scored, so we had a bit of luck. Switzerland could be the key game but let's celebrate a bit first as it's not often we get a draw against France," he added.

Korea, who have four points from two games, play Switzerland in their last game on Friday. France have two points after two draws and meet Togo in their last game.

Switzerland and Togo play on Monday. The Swiss have one point, while Togo have none.

Park Ji-sung, who equalised in the 81st minute for the Koreans, was delighted with the outcome.    "I'm very happy that we managed to get a point against such a strong French team," he said.
