Golden Eaglets Hold Korea To 1-1 Draw In Suwon


National Under-17 team, the Golden Eaglets forced
host, South Korea to a 1-1 draw at the on-going
2015 Suwon Invitational Tournament.
Lee Sangheon scored the curtain raiser as early as
the third minute for the home team, but Funsho
Bamgboye, making his debut for Nigeria on the
international stage, brought the game into parity in
the 26th minute, with a lively volley.
Thereafter, it was a ding-dong affair, as both teams
searched for the winner with beautiful style of play.
With the result, Nigeria and Korea are jointly in
second position behind Brazil who beat Croatia 2-1
in the tournament's opening match.
The Eaglets' second game of the Suwon
tournament would be against table leader Brazil,
while Croatia will face Korea at the Suwon World
Cup stadium.
