THE HAGUE: Pan American champions Argentina are just one point away from qualifying for the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time.

The South Americans sent South Korea crashing to a 5-0 defeat at the Kyocera Stadium on Sunday in Group B to take a big step towards the last four. They now lead the group with nine points, having a better goal difference than second-placed Holland who played winless South Africa later in the day.
