Nigeria coach Samson Siasia saw his side lose the match late on

South Korea scored two late goals to beat Nigeria 2-1 in Group F of the World Youth Championship in Holland on Wednesday. Captain Baek Ji-hoon scored in the first minute of injury time, three minutes after Park Chu-young had curled in a free-kick.

"My players lost concentration in the last five minutes," Nigeria coach Samson Siasia said. ...



... Nigeria had the lead through an 18th-minute goal

After the game this is what the South Korean coach said "We'll have to concentrate on the counters, but my players have got more confidence from this win"

... Well they did take confidence from the win ... they defeated Nigeria in much the same way - set plays and counting on the Nigerian to lose confidence ... here is the Scouting report on Nigeria from a South Korean Newspaper: Link to South Korean article
