The Swiss put themselves in the driving seat with a hard-fought 2-0 win over troubled Togo on Monday and only require a draw against South Korea in Hanover to progress to the last 16.

South Korea, surprise semi-finalists in 2002, could still qualify in second place if they draw with Switzerland but refuse to dream that Togo can achieve a result against France on the same night.

"We are determined to defeat Switzerland and go through (to the last 16)," said striker Cho Jae-Jin, whose header across goal set up Park Ji-Sung's dramatic 81st minute equaliser against France.

"We will not need to look at the result of the France-Togo game."

There are several final-day scenarios in the tightest of groups with the drawing of lots to determine whether France or South Korea progress a possibility depending on the results.

The Koreans don't want to be rushing for their calculators or to be relying on luck and are focussing on beating Switzerland.

"Switzerland could be complacent in the match because only a draw against us will be enough to ensure their qualification for the second round," said Shimizu S-Pulse striker Cho, who has started both games ahead of goalscoring hero Ahn Jung-Hwan.

"We can win the match if we focus on taking advantage of their easy-going state of mind."

The Korean players watched Switzerland's victory over Togo on Monday before taking part in a light training session.

There were groans when Tranquillo Barnetta's 88th minute strike put Switzerland ahead of South Korea on goal difference but the positive attitude which has coursed through the squad in Germany soon returned.

"The Swiss players were as good as the French in the first match (which ended 0-0)," said striker Park Chu-young, dubbed the 'Football Genius' after his vital goals in World Cup qualifying.

"They have fantastic stamina, and are very well organised. We are only thinking about a win (over Switzerland) after our morale-boosting draw against France."

"We have no choice but to win the match to progress to the second round. If we put pressure on them, we will be able to win."

South Korea's confidence was reflected by the decision to send spies to watch possible second round opponents Spain and Ukraine in their Group H matches on Monday.
