FIFA World Cup: Football Lessons from Korea and Nigeria

In reporting the match it was all very simple. Koreans missed a draw, in case of victory of Argentina in a parallel match or a victory - in reverse. Africans also needed was a victory, and the end is not everything depended on them.








These matches only decorate the World Cup, and indeed any tournaments. The team showed a very meaningful and emotional football that can not but rejoice, remembering the gray games at the start of the competition.

Sven-Goran Eriksson has set up its "Superorly" only to win, and his team immediately began to carry out his plan. Already in the 12th minute Odia down the right wing attack and shot into the center. It has picked up the ball Kalu Uche (Kalu Uche), who was the author of the first goal of the match.









Koreans urgently needed to recoup, but the reasons for this was not one. But at the Nigerian team had a great chance to double the advantage, when all the same Uche powerful blow the strength of the crossbar rivals. And just immediately Korean team after the match at the standard position. Pass from the left flank of the attack and in the turmoil Jung Soo hit the goalkeeper.







And then there was the beginning of the second half, in which the free-kick Koreans again took the lead. Chun Yong gracefully and gently beat Enyami. It was the 48th minute of the match. Ericsson makes replacement and the game becomes a fully Nigerian team to the attack direction. Africans spend a moment by moment, and could do nothing. That play tight defense, the strikes inaccurate. But on 68 minutes in the penalty Koreans "overwhelmed" Obasi. Referee without hesitation pointed to the "point". Yakubu perfect penalty spot.









The "Superorly" was still more than 20 minutes to decide his fate. But with the implementation of Nigerians is clearly a big problem. Then took the national team of South Korea.
