Korea U20 1 - 1 Paraguay U20, Changwon General Stadium, October 2004

This was a rare chance for the people of Changwon to see some action in the city's largely disused stadium.

The pitch was in excellent condition as the national under-20s side took on their Paraguayan counterparts in a friendly in the warm autumn sunshine.

The Paraguayans had gone ahead quite early in the game, only for the Koreans to equalise in the second half.

Aled, Renee, Gareth, Peter, Bruce, James, Luke and Paul were among the spectators.

And Peter spotted this fellow Arsenal fan in the opposite stand!

Ian and Joelle joined me in Busan for this international friendly that wasn't of much interest in the end.
