Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, has reacted to the defeat of the Flying Eagles against South Korea at the FIFA U-20 World Cup on Sunday evening.
Sporting Tribune reports that Seok-Hyun Choi managed to score the only goal, resulting in the Taegeuk Warriors triumphing over the Flying Eagles for the second time ever.
Nigeria’s U-20 team had raised high expectations, especially after eliminating Argentina in the previous round. However, a narrow loss to the Asian team left the players disheartened.
