Canada settles for third at CONCACAF
[Associated Press]
PASADENA, Calif. -- Dwayne DeRosario scored his first goal
of the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament Saturday to give Canada a 2-1
victory over South Korea in the third-place game.
DeRosario, who scored the winning goal for San Jose in overtime
of last year's MLS Cup, broke a 1-1 tie against South Korea in the
35th minute.
Paul Stalteri used a back-heel pass through the legs of defender
Choi Sung-Yong to send the ball to DeRosario, who converted from 12
yards while marked tightly by Song Chong-Gug.
Canada had tied the score one minute earlier on Kim Do-Hoon's
own goal. Trying to clear a header by Canada's Jason DeVos, Kim
instead headed the ball into his own net.
Kim gave South Korea a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute with a
19-yard shot off a post, and almost tied the score in the 49th
minute. But goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld deflected Kim's 11-yard line
drive.
Canada played without two injured starters, defender Carl
Fletcher and midfielder Jason Bent, a former member of Colorado
Rapids.
South Korea appeared as a guest in the tournament, the
championship of the North and South American and Caribbean region.
