With this win, Korea manage to stay alive in the competition and will look to keep the momentum going while Argentina will need to re-think their strategies and regroup to put up a far more improved performance in their next outing.
A commanding show put up by the Jang Kun Lee-led side, who made the most of Argentina's hasty tackles to amass points in heaps led by the talented Gyung Tae Kim, who finished with 11 raid points.
The defence unit too had a good day in the office as Young Chang Ko and Jae Pil managed to stop the Argentinian raiders in their tracks and pile more misery on the South Americans.
Rafael Acevedo goes in with an ankle hold from the right corner and then Lopez looks to contribute but Kim powers through as he also collects another touch point on the right cover defender who looks to pull the Korean's hand back into their own half.
Tae Kim continues to cause nightmares for the Argentina defence, picks up another point as a hapless Argentina coach has his hands on his heads. Well, nothing's worked to his strategy so far. If there was one!
The Korean defence now pounces on the raider as he has been thrown off the court! Seems to have taken a slight knock on his knee as he limps off to the benches.
DO OR DIE raid for Villamayor and he completely runs out of time! The Korean defense keeps their attacking instincts in check, give nothing away to the raider and a final ditch attempt sees the raider lose out on time and has to step away.
Fantastic effort from Acevedo as he goes in with a solo tackle on Tae Kim, does very well to block the raider's path and the rest of the defence cleans up.
Quick toe touch from Tae Kim as he picks yet another point. This is a very poor display from Argentina, they will certainly need to step up their game.
An absolutely shambolic show from the Argentina men as they have not only gifted away points to their opponents, they have already possibly lost the match in the first half with a massive 38-point lead favouring Korea at half-time.
Such has been the magnitude of Korea's dominance over Argentina that they have inflicted four all-outs within the first half and will be brimming with confidence as they go into the second half.
Another error from the Argentinian defense unit as Jang Kun Lee skips over the attempted ankle hold from the right corner and then runs away to the mid-line.
What is happening here to Argentina! A listless performance, the advance tackles are certainly hurting them. Jae Min Lee gets another point, Argentina down to one man.
Gabriel Sacchi cannot produce any magic as he has been pinned down by the Korean defence! And look what that has done! Almost half the Argentina team has been substituted.
