Nigeria crash out of U-20 World Cup | TheCable U20WorldCup
However, there was a little spark from the explosive performance they displayed in the previous game.
The Flying Eagles enjoyed complete control of the ball in the first half-an-hour of the game, but sparse chances were created from the spell.Nigeria’s captain Daniel Bameyi had a crack from outside the box, but Joon-Hong Kim, the Korean goalkeeper, easily stopped it. Victor Eletu also carved another dangerous opportunity for Nigeria’s opener, but after slaloming through a host of Korean bodies, his left-footed was palmed away by a full-stretched Joon-Hong.
Bameyi had another long-range strike thwarted after the half-time break, but both teams struggled to get their final third decisions appropriate.However, five minutes into the extra period, Korea broke the deadlock. A corner was swung in from the right, Seok-Hyun found himself unmarked, and his guarded header sailed beyond a stunned Kingsley Aniagboso, the Nigerian goalkeeper.
Despite a late rally, the Flying Eagles could not respond as Korea progressed to the semi-final to face Italy on Thursday.
