S. Korea Beats Nigeria 2-1 in WYC

South Korea came back from one goal down to beat Nigeria 2-1 with two last-minute scores in its second Group F match of the FIFA World Youth Championship on Thursday.

With time ticking away in the match in the Dutch city of Emmen, the South Korean team's defeat seemed certain when rising star Park Chu-young curled a free kick into the net to tie the score with one minute left in the second half.

Midfielder Baek Ji-hoon followed up with another goal in injury time to give his team a dramatic 2-1 upset victory.

South Korea will play against defending WYC champion Brazil at the same stadium on Saturday night. If the match ends in a draw, both teams will qualify for the next round of 16.
