GROEDIG, Austria: Senegal scored two second-half goals to beat fellow World Cup contender South Korea 2-0 and end a four-match winless streak on Monday in the final warmup for both teams.
The match sent social media into meltdown after the game was delayed, and played behind closed doors.
South Korea defender Kim Young-gwon deflected an effort by Alfred N'Diaye into his own goal in the 67th minute, and striker Moussa Konate added the second from the penalty spot in injury time to give Senegal their first win since beating South Africa in November.
Senegal open their World Cup campaign against Poland next Tuesday before taking on Japan and Colombia in Group H.
South Korea, which have scored only once in their last three warmups, will play Sweden, Mexico and Germany in Group F.
No one seemed to understand why fans were not allowed to watch the match in Austria before the two nations head to Russia.
