Les Miserables - France Let Victory Slip Against South Korea

France vs South Korea in Leipzig.

The look on William Gallas' face said it all.

After dominating the game for 80 minutes, France let the game slip from their grasp again; shortly before the final whistle.

In the 9th minute, Thierry Henry scored France's first World Cup Finals goal since 1998 and the French continued to control the game.

Although the South Korea fans kept drumming and chanting throughout the game, their side never seemed to offer much challenge to France; until Eric Abidal was booked.

The French left-back failed to challenge Ki-Hyun Seol before he whipped a cross towards the far post. The cross was headed into the middle of the area by Jae-Jin Cho and Park Ji-Sung just managed to clip the ball between a desperate Barthez and a miserble-looking, William Gallas.

Final Score:
France 1 - South Korea 1

The result leaves France on two points, while South Korea stay on top of the group with four points. France will also be without Eric Abidal and Zinedine Zidane for their final game, against Togo.
