Responses English - Ms. Sue, Sunday, June 7, 2009 at 9:46pm We usually don't use any preposition. We say: Korea lost the soccer game by 1 to 2. ================================== Thank you. What about the following? 1. Korea was defeated at the soccer game by Japan by 1:2. 2. Korea ws defeated in the soccer game by Japan by 1:2. (Which preposition should be used? Are both OK here?)

  Both are correct. We might also say, Korea was defeated by the Japanese soccer team by a score of 1 to 2.
