South Korea Beats Bahrain in Olympic Qualifier
����A second-half goal from Lee Dong Gook gave the visiting South Koreans a 1-0 victory over Bahrain in an Asian Olympic soccer qualifier in Manama, Bahrain on October 17.
����After a goalless first half, Lee scored from close range nine minutes into the second half after some dazzling passes in the front from the South Koreans.
����Bahrain also had chances in both halves but several of their attempts were foiled by the South Korean goalie who produced stable performance throughout the match.
����South Korea consolidated their lead in group B with six points from two victories, followed by China with three points from one win and one loss.
����Winless Bahrain was virtually eliminated since only the winner of the three-team group qualifies for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.
