Korea 2 Great Britain 0
Great Britain suffered their second successive defeat of the Champions Trophy here yesterday, beaten by the Olympic silver medallists in a disappointing game they did enough to win.
After holding the Koreans until the closing 10 minutes, lapses of concentration allowed Eun Kyung Choi and Ji Young Lee to score on the counter-attack. Earlier an experimental British line-up had presented plenty of problems for the Asians which, apart from woeful finishing, would have seen Britain comfortable at the interval.
Britain also wasted five penalty corners. Even so, it was at times only desperate defending by the Slough pair of Karen Brown and Lisa Copeland, with brave goalkeeping from Hilary Rose, that kept the Koreans at bay for 60 minutes.
