The Flying Eagles enjoyed more possession and were the more adventurous, winning five corner kicks to south Korea’s one.

However, five minutes into extra time, South Korea had their breakthrough through a corner kick from which Choi Seok-hyun profited to head them in front.

Nigeria last reached the semifinals of the tournament in 2005 when a John Mikel obi-inspired side was beaten 2-1 in the final by Argentina.
