South Korea, Iraq change two for Asian Cup semi

South Korea coach Uli Stielike brought in attack-minded Cha Du-Ri in one of two changes for their Asian Cup semi-final against Iraq on Monday.

Cha, a veteran of two World Cups, comes in after a marauding display off the bench in last week's 2-0 win over Uzbekistan, while Han Kyo-Won replaces struggling forward Lee Keun-Ho.

Iraq plug the absence of suspended midfielder Yaser Kasim with Osamah Jabbar, with Justin Meram replaced by Amjed Kalaf as the 2007 champions also make two changes from the side which beat Iran on penalties in the quarter-finals.
