The Flying Eagles of Nigeria on Thursday qualified from Group B for the knockout stage or round of 16 after defeating South Korea 1-0 at the ongoing 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey.<\/p>\n

Olanrewaju Kayode put Nigeria ahead when he headed home a free kick from the left by skipper Abduljaleel Ajagun in the ninth minute.<\/p>\n

The Nigerians finished second in Group B with six points behind seven-point Portugal, which defeated Cuba 5-0 in the other match in the group.<\/p>\n

Nigeria is likely to face one of Uzbekistan, Uruguay or Croatia depending on the outcome of the last matches in Group F this Saturday.<\/p>\n
