2013 FIFA U-20 WC: Nigeria qualifies for Round of 16 after beating S/Korea 1-0

The Flying Eagles of Nigeria on Thursday defeated South Korea 1-0, to qualify from Group B for the knockout stage or round of 16.
The match was at the ongoing 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey.
The Nigerians finished second in Group B with six points behind seven-point Portugal, which defeated Cuba 5-0 in the other match in the group.
Olanrewaju Kayode put Nigeria ahead when he headed home a free kick from the left by skipper Abduljaleel Ajagun in the ninth minute.
Defender Wilfred Ndidi came close with header after 15 minutes off a corner and moments later Kayode’s shot missed narrowly after he was put through on goal by Michael Olaitan.
Shehu Abdullahi also missed with a header inside the box after 32 minutes and minutes later Kayode turned sharply inside the box but his effort missed target.
In the 54th minute, Nigerian goalkeeper Samuel had to dive to stop Sunggyu Han right inside his goal area.
Nigeria continued to dominate the game, but failed to utilise the chances they had created.
Kayode then forced goalkeeper Changgeun Lee to make a big save after 73 minutes and seven minutes later, substitute Samuel Eduok saw his effort from the left hit the side net.
