BRISBANE, Australia - There was more at stake for Ki Sung-Yueng than just top spot in the group, and it was evident in his man-of-the-match performance in guiding South Korea to a 1-0 win over Australia at the Asian Cup on Saturday.Ki, who spent four years living in Brisbane, played a role in the only goal in the contest for Group A supremacy. The South Korea captain played the ball into the area for Lee Keun-ho, who steered a left-foot cross toward the far post and Lee Jeong-hyeop finished with a sliding touch to beat Mat Ryan in the 32nd minute.The Australians had almost two-thirds of possession and twice as many shots on goal, but two-time champion South Korea took full advantage of its first genuine chance.I was desperate to win. I wanted to go first of the group, Ki said, adding that the game was for pride between two of Asias top teams.South Korea won all three group games 1-0, upending an Australian squad that had an 8-1 goal differential going into the group decider. The Australians now face a quarterfinal against China on Thursday, while the South Koreans must wait to see who wins on Sunday between 2011 semifinalist Uzbekistan and three-time champion Saudi Arabia.We won three games, but I think we start now from the quarterfinal, Ki said. Our target is to be the champion.Australia coach Ange Postecoglou was missing injured captain Mile Jedinak, and also kept key attackers Tim Cahill, Robbie Kruse and Mathew Leckie on the bench to start.We had the opportunities, we just didnt take them, he said. We obviously conceded a pretty poor goal from us — we switched off.While the result didnt go our way, we kind of dominated the game for major parts and created opportunities. Ultimately, they got the reward and the result. From a football performance perspective, though, theres still positives.Oman finished third in Group A, picking up its first win from Abdulaziz Al Maqbalis 69th-minute header in a 1-0 victory over Kuwait in Newcastle.Postecoglou complained about the surface of the pitch in Brisbane, saying it prevented a slick, attacking game. And South Korea coach Uli Stielike said the pitch had the feel of a surface recently roughed up by rugby. But the 2011 finalists will have to adapt quickly, needing to beat China at the same venue to move into a semifinal at Newcastle on Jan. 27 — quite possibly against defending champion Japan.The Australians lacked a finishing touch, particularly in the first half, when Tomi Juric and Nathan Burns both had shots on goal.Australia went close to getting a first-half equalizer when James Troisi pivoted, turned and shot into the side-netting in the 34th. The stadium screen wrongly flashed up a goal, bringing a roar from the 48,513-crowd which was packed with fans in gold jerseys except for a large pocket of Korean fans behind the southern goal. But the equalizer never came.Burns made a strong run into the area in the 70th, beating three defenders but had his shot saved by Kim. It was his last act before being replaced by Kruise. Cahill went on at the same time in a double substitution.Kruse had a chance for a late equalizer when he was one-on-one with Kim in the 88th, but the Korean goalkeeper made a desperate save from close range to preserve the lead.In a seesawing finish as players from both teams struggled in the hot and humid conditions, Jang Hyun-soo missed a chance to make it 2-0 on a counterattack in stoppage time when his effort was well blocked by Ryan.Cahill got a yellow card at the other end following an aerial collision with Kim, and the keeper stayed on the ground to be treated for cramp, drawing thunderous booing from the crowd.The win was costly for a South Korean squad already dealing with injuries. Midfielder Park Joo-ho was treated for a bloody nose after a collision in the 29th and was replaced before half time.Koo Ja-Cheol had to be replaced after landing awkwardly two minutes into the second half and was carried off the field on a stretcher. Stielike said Koo would have medical tests Sunday to check the extent of the damage. Cheap Soccer Jerseys . -- Canadian ski cross star Marielle Thompson accomplished two goals in one race Saturday.

First place in the NFC East is on the line when the Eagles (9-4) host the Cowboys (9-4) under the prime-time lights Sunday night. Watch the action live on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5 at 7pm et/4pm pt. The winner takes control of the division while the loser has a tough road to get into the playoffs. If we play like the team we are capable of, we shouldnt have any worries, Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick said. Just 17 days earlier, the Eagles routed the Cowboys 33-10. But Dallas rebounded with a win at Chicago and has three extra days to prepare for the Eagles, who are coming off a loss to Seattle. We need to be the best version of ourselves this game, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo said. I dont think our team played as well as were capable last time. The guys will be ready to go. Having a few more days off, I expect our team to be at our best. The Cowboys lost a winner-take-all game at home to the Eagles in the regular-season finale last year. So, they have extra motivation going for them, a factor that may be a bigger deal for oddsmakers than anyone else. Were not satisfied with the last game, Cowboys cornerback Brandon Carr said. Its out of character for us the way we played. Weve got an opportunity to go out there and prove ourselves one more time. The Eagles also have something to prove after the Seahawks snapped their 10-game home winning streak. Theyre only 2-4 against winning teams, including a blowout loss to Green Bay and a last-minute loss to Arizona. Mark Sanchez and the rest of the offence were shut down by Seattles Legion Of Doom defence, holding Philadelphia to just 139 total yards and 18:04 time of possession. Heres some things to watch for Sunday night: MURRAY VS. MCCOY: DeMarco Murray leads the NFL with 1,606 yards rushing while LeSean McCoy is fourth with 1,068. McCoy won the first matchup. He rushed for 159 yards and a TD in the first game and has 474 yards against the Cowboys in the past four meetings. The Eagles held Murray to a season-low 73 yards on Nov. 27. I think theyll come in trying to stop the run, McCoy said.dddddddddddd Im sure theyre not happy about last game. I dont think itll be like that, that type of blowout. ROAD WARRIORS: The Cowboys are 6-0 on the road for the third time in franchise history. Theyve had their two best rushing games on the road and also beat the Seahawks in Seattle, handing Russell Wilson only his second home loss in three seasons. There arent a lot of the distractions that sometimes you have at home, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said of the teams road success. And sometimes theres that warrior mentality where you go on the road and you kind of embrace all the challenges that come with it. I think our team has done a good job of that this year. UNDERRATED D-LINE: The Eagles defensive line set the tone for the win at Dallas by controlling the line of scrimmage against a talented offensive line. End Fletcher Cox is having an excellent season and Vinny Curry has a career-best eight sacks coming off the bench in passing downs. Fletcher Cox is a force in both the run and pass, defensive co-ordinator Billy Davis said. Were very happy with Vinny and the production hes given us. Cedric Thornton and Bennie Logan helped stuff Murray the first time around and kept Marshawn Lynch in check last week. FRUSTRATED DEZ: Dez Bryant had only four catches for 73 yards vs. the Eagles two weeks ago and called them cheap afterward. He was visibly frustrated during the game and was seen shouting on the sideline. I guess we got in his head a little bit, Eagles cornerback Bradley Fletcher said. Its not a bad thing at all. When were able to do that, thats a good thing for us. RESTED COWBOYS: While the Eagles played a tough, physical game against the Seahawks late Sunday afternoon, the Cowboys were sitting on their couches and relaxing after a win at Chicago on Thursday night. No doubt the extra time off could help Dallas. As coaches, we try to take advantage of this little bit of extra time, Garrett said. For our players, the biggest thing is to get away from it, get refreshed. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.organd AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ___ Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi ' ' '
