Flying Eagles
Flying Eagles
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Flying Eagles reached the quarterfinals after showcasing their determination, resilience, fighting spirit, and quality when defeating Argentina 2-0 in the first knockout round.

The West Africans shot down the hosts courtesy of second-half goals from Ibrahim Muhammad and Haliru Sarki.

It would be recalled that Nigeria finished third in Group D, accumulating six points from two wins and one defeat. They overcame the Dominican Republic (2-1) and Italy (2-0) but stumbled against Brazil.

Match Facts
The Flying Eagles have a mixed record in the quarterfinals of the FIFA U20 World Cup, with three victories (two via penalties) and three defeats in their six previous encounters.

Having appeared in the tournament 12 times, Nigeria have been runners-up twice, highlighting their pedigree on the global stage.

South Korea, making their 15th appearance, reached the final in 2019 but fell short of lifting the trophy.

Head-to-Head
Sunday’s clash will mark the third meeting between these two nations at the U20 level. South Korea claimed a 2-1 victory in their first encounter during the 2005 edition held in the Netherlands. Nigeria eventually picked up a silver medal at that tourney.

However, Nigeria got their revenge in 2013, emerging as 1-0 winners in Turkey, courtesy of Olanrewaju Kayode’s decisive goal.

Overall, Nigeria boast an impressive record against Asian opponents, securing five wins, one draw, and suffering just one defeat, with an aggregate scoreline of 14-3.
