U20 World Cup: See how Super Eagles coach reacted to Flying Eagles elimination

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.
