The Nigerian U19 national team suffered their third
straight defeat at the 2016 Suwon Continental Cup U-19 National Soccer
Championship, losing 3-0 to hosts South Korea in their final game on Saturday
afternoon.
The Manu Garba-led were thrashed 8-1 by England in
their first game, before a narrow 1-0 defeat to Iran on Thursday totally
extinguished their hopes of winning the competition.
Eum Won Sang opened scoring for the South Koreans in
the 45th minute with a right footed shot.
Five minutes after the interval, Yoon Jong Kyu doubled
South Korea’s advantage, before Cho Yeong Wook added more gloss to the
scoreline with a third goal in the 57th minute.
The Nigerian team would have pocketed US$60,000
(equivalent of N26.7 million) if they had won the Continental Cup.
