0.17 min. | 0 user rating		 South Korea vs Nigeria 2-2 South Africa World Cup. South Korea moves on for the first time on foreign soil, to the knockout rounds and will face Uruguay, since South Korea ended up 2nd in their group they'll face #1 of Group A. Kalu Uche put Nigeria on top in the 12th minute. Lee Jung-Soo scored on a free kick from Ki Sung-Yeung, who are both 21 and are known as DOUBLE DRAGONs and this was in the 38th minute. With the match level, Park Chu-Young scored on a free kick from the left side hitting the right side of the net, not even the back. And Nigeria had a great chance when Yakubu Aiyegbeni missed in the 66' minute but made up for it for a PK in the 69'. Match was played at Durban Stadium, Durban, South Africa. Congrats South Korea
