South Korea, hosts of the 2016 Suwon Invitational Tournament defeated Nigeria U-23s team led by Samson Siasia 1-0 in the opening game of the Tournament today.
The game’s only goal was scored by South Korea’s Choi Kyubaek towards the end of the match and despite all attempts by the Dream team to equalize, their efforts fell short.
Siasia’s boys were hoping to secure a valuable win against the Red Devils as they prepare for the Rio 2016 Olympics and the result was shocking as the Dream team have not lost any competitive match since the 2015 All African Games where they lost 3-1 to Burkina Faso in the semi-final.
The team will battle Honduras and Denmark in the next two games as the Bayelsa born coach hopes to give his team enough preparation ahead of the Rio Olympics in Brazil this summer.
