Arsenal's Park Chu-Young set them on their way with a superb solo effort in the 38th minute before skipper Koo Ja-Cheol sealed the win 11 minutes into the second half.

Japan enjoyed plenty of possession but, like Great Britain before them, found it tough to break down a well-organised Korean rearguard.

Watch Live Japan and South Korea playing for Olympic Football Bronze | 10 August 2012

Japan and South Korea come face to face Friday evening at London Olympics 2012 to win over each other to bag the Olympics Bronze.

It may be added for information that Barazil and Mexico have already qualified for the Olympics football final, being played Saturday, 11 August 2012.

Japan has already owon the Olympic bronze once - but that was way back in 1968. South Korea has yet to bag any medal in Olympics football. This measn that both teams are already new in the bronze medal queue as 1968 is almost history now for Japan.

Japan's football team has a higher ranking than their rival Friday in FIFA and their strong defence did not let them have a goal scored against them till the semis. So it would be worth watching who outscore the other to win over the Olympic bronze Friday evening at London Olympics.

But wait - there is one more hidden prize for the South Korean footballers: if they win the bronze, they will be exempted from the compulsory military service that each South Korean must do til the age of 29. So I do not have to say which team will be putting in their extra power and enter the field Friday evening with full turbo booster charges on.

The match is scheduled for Friday 10 August 2012 at 18:40 GMT

Right from the outset Murray seemed determined to win the gold and did not let the Swiss to take any advantage of him. Murray won 6-2, 6-1, 6-4.

He is the first British man to win the Olympic singles gold medal since Josiah Ritchie in 1908.

Andy Murray had never beaten Federer in a best-of-five-sets match and lost to him in the Wimbledon final. He shed tear when he lost Wimbledon Final - today, he wept in joy, while Federer hurriedly exited the arena to hide his wet eyes.

In the Bronze Medal match, Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro beat Serbian Novak Djokovic. Jean Julian del Potro who almost beat Federer in the semi final, before he gave in to the Swiss, did not show any hesitation to let the game slip today and won over the Serbian 7-5 6-4. The match lasted one hour and 48 minutes on Court One at Wimbledon.

World no.3 Serbian Novak Djokovic, who was ousted from the Olympic gold rush by Andy Murray in the semi finals, now plays Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro for a bronze in the Olympics men's singles tennis event.

Djokovic won a bronze in 2008 Olympics at Beijing and it seems he did not want a better medal than a possible bronze this London Olympics 2012 too.

Although Djokovic fought well and hard against the Scot Andy Murray and finally lost 5-7, 5-7, it seems he did not have gold in mind while playing Andy. Andy Murray remarked during the Wimbledon that the top fours are about to have a change in days to come. Well Djokovic and Nadal are already out and now Federer and Andy remain for the gold game Sunday afternoon.

As for Djokovic vs Potro, we may have more surprises as Potro really stunned Federer in the semis and almost got him. If the Serbian is not careful Sunday today, he may even lose the bronze that is left out for  him.

Playing on Court No.1 may be painful for the former world no.1, but that is how the sport world is. Centre Court for those who are in the race and Court One for the left outs.

The bronze medal match is scheduled for Sunday, 5 August 2012 at 11:00 GMT at Wimbledon Court No.1.
