The upcoming match between Korea and Nigeria is shaping up to be a
tight one.
For one, both teams proved that they can give tournament favorite
Portugal a run for its money. Korea surprised the European team with a
come-from-behind draw, thanks to the efforts of Kim Hyun and Ryu Seungwoo.
Nigeria didn’t do so bad against Bruma and Alberto Aladje’s team either, though
the Flying Eagles weren’t fortunate enough to overcome their 2-3 loss to
Portugal.
Nigeria, who has appeared in this championship nine times, also has
Abdul Ajagun and Aminu Umar to rely on for their scoring needs. There’s also
Kayode Olarenwaju who’ll serve as the perfect support for these two. As for
Korea, they have a cohesive lineup in the shape of Hyun, Seungwoo, Sim Sangmin,
and Han Sunggyu. The last two made the beautiful play which enabled Hyun to
make a nice goal.
The Flying Eagles may have better firepower, but the Koreans have a
deeper team. As long as Nigeria doesn’t keep missing goals the way it did
against Cuba, they’ll do just fine against the Asian team. The June 27 match
may end up in a draw, or a win in favor of Nigeria.
