Argentina had its moments in the sun, but went down 25-54 to South Korea in the Kabaddi Masters Dubai 2018 here on Wednesday.
Argentina’s Nahuel Villamayor electrified the crowd with a couple of ‘Super Raids’ early in the outing.
Sebastian Canencia then nearly pulled off the impossible, when he pinned down South Korea raider Park Chan, despite being the sole anti on the mat. Chan, however, used all his strength to crawl back to safety.
South Korea then tightened its grip on the match, and cruised to victory.
The result: South Korea bt Argentina 54-25.
