Korea Republic held on to beat Argentina 2-1 in their second
match of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Korea Republic 2017 and confirm their place in
the knockout stages.
Barcelona academy players Lee Seungwoo and Paik Seungho both
scored in the first half to ultimately send the host nation into the Round of
16.
Lee opened the scoring with a fine piece of individual skill,
beating Argentina’s backline for pace and then finishing off the move with a
sublime chip to send the fans in Jeonju into frenzy.
Second-half substitute Marcelo Torres scored within five minutes
of entering the match after making an incisive run and finishing calmly past
Korea Republic goalkeeper Song Bumkeun.
However, it wasn't enough for the Argentinians on the night as
the hosts ensured their journey would continue beyond the group stages.
