FIFA U-20 World Cup
Goals from Kim Hyun-min and Shin Min-ha secured the victory, with Kevin Walder replying for Panama, as the win kept Korea Republic's qualifying hopes alive as one of the top third-placed teams.
The Koreans dominated from the outset, with Chung Ma-ho forcing Panama stopper Cecilio Burgess into an excellent save to deny a 25-yard free-kick.
They continued to attack and took a well-deserved lead following Hyun-min's exquisite curling effort into the top right-hand corner.

Panama fought back after the break and levelled the scores when Kairo Walters centred the ball to Walder, who slotted home with ease.
But Korea Republic immediately responded and retook the lead as Min-ha latched onto Son Seung-min's corner with an acrobatic header.
