Nigeria’s Flying Eagles, the last African team standing have crashed out of the FIFA U20 World Cup after losing 1-0 to Korea Republic after extra time in a quarter-finals clash.

And so, as it was at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, South Korea have again sent Nigeria packing.

No thanks to Seokhun Choi’s header in the fifth minute of the extra time. That settled the encounter which the Flying Eagles obviously had more ball possession.

Until the back-breaking goal, Nigeria had gone 545 minutes – over nine hours – without conceding against an Asian side in the competition .

The Taegeuk Warriors will now face Italy on Thursday for a place in the final. The Flying Eagles had the better of the play during the first 90 minutes, but struggled to create any meaningful opportunities against a resilient defence.

Victor Ehuwa Eletu had the best of them following a jinking dribble, but his shot was tipped round the post by Kim Joonhong.

To extra-time it went, with Korea Republic making the breakthrough via a corner. Lee Seungwon delivered one of his low, quick crosses, and Choi cleverly headed it backwards, up and over goalkeeper Kingsley Aniagboso and into the net.

Korea Republic will now strive to reach the final in back-to-back editions of this competition.

  125. Hallo wollte dir nur eine kurze Vorwarnung geben und dir mitteilen, dass einige der Bilder nicht geladen werden richtig. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, warum, aber ich denke, dass es sich um ein Verknüpfungsproblem handelt. Ich habe es in zwei verschiedenen Internetbrowsern versucht und beide zeigen die gleichen Ergebnisse.
