Korea Republic U20 take on Nigeria U20 at Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades in the FIFA U-20 World Cup on Sunday (June 4).
These two teams are the only surviving representatives of their respective confederations. Korea is the only team from the original four of the Asian Football Confederation to make it this far. Nigeria is the only team from the Confederation of African Football left in the tournament.
Taegeuk Warriors are in the quarterfinals for the fourth time. In the round of 16, they shocked with a 3-2 win over highly favored Ecuador. Lee Young-jun, Bae Joon-ho and Choi Seok-hyeon were on the scoresheet for the Asian team, while Cuero and Sebastian Gonzalez scored for Ecuador. .
Nigeria, meanwhile, are a team that many others would take more seriously after their triumph over hosts Argentina on Wednesday. They put Argentina on their feet with a 2-0 loss in front of nearly 30,000 home fans at the Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario. The scorers were Ibrahim Muhammad and Rilwanu Sarki.
The Flying Eagles’ victory raised expectations of their chances of ending a 40-year title drought in the competition. They reached the final twice, in 1989 and 2005, failing to reach the final each time.
Meanwhile, Korea stuck to their massive attacking strategy which paid off handsomely, but Nigeria boast the qualities that stand in their way.
