Nigeria U17 played a 1-1 draw with hosts Korea U17 in the opening match of the 2015 Suwon International Youth Football Tournament played on Wednesday.
Funsho Bamgboye’s 26th minute strike pulled the Golden Eaglets back to level terms after Lee Sang Heon’s third minute effort put Choi Jin-cheul’s side aside in the third minutes.
“I think it was a fair result though we would have loved to win,” coach Emmanuel Amuneke said after the game.
"It was a good game for us; we created more chances in the second half though we failed to take them."
With the result, Nigeria and Korea are jointly in second position behind Brazil who beat Croatia 2-1 in the tournament's opening match.
Amuneke’s wards face Brazil on Thursday while Croatia slug it out with Croatia.
