The honours were even after today’s junior international football matches for the Taskor Cup played at South Hobart.
The Korean under-12 youngsters won the first match 5-0 against a combined South Hobart and Morton Soccer School under-12 team, while the local under-13s won the second game against another Korean under-12 side 10-1.
Korean head coach, Hyo Suk Jin, said it was pleasing to bring his players to Tasmania and he hoped it would be the first in a series of exchanges.
A Tasmanian side would visit Korea at the end of September and in early October to participate in an international youth tournament.
Other Korean teams would then visit Tasmania later in October.
Jin said he hoped to establish a Korean international soccer school in Tasmania which would foster sporting, educational and cultural links between Korea and Australia.
The squad currently on tour in Tasmania represents the Korean Youth Football Association and a regional association, Kyung Ki.
The Koreans arrived in Sydney on Wednesday afternoon and after a sightseeing tour flew to Launceston in the evening.
They travelled to Hobart for two games this afternoon and two games tomorrow afternoon.
This evening, they played Futsal against some Tasmanian sides and they will play matches in Launceston and Somerset before returning to Korea on Tuesday.
