Nigeria 2 South Korea 2 (22nd June, 2010)

South Korea did enough to get through to the last 16 with a hard-fought draw against Nigeria. The Africans were playing for pride. They wanted their first points of the tournament. The Koreans knew a point would be good enough to go through, assuming Argentina didn’t slip up against Greece in the group’s other match. Nigeria took the lead after 12 minutes when Kalu Uche tapped in a cross. The Koreans hit back with goals either side of half-time from Lee Jung-Soo and Park Chu-Young. Nigeria equalized in the 69th minute with a Yakubu penalty. The last 20 minutes were the liveliest of the game as each side went for the winner and missed several chances. The loss meant Nigeria became the third African side to exit the tournament. Both European teams from Groups A and B joined them.
