Koreans hold Germany at U-20 World Cup

Korea Republic kept Under-20 World Cup hope alive with a slightly surprising 1-1 draw against Germany on Tuesday.

The Germans had already won their opening match and knew that a second win would guarantee a spot in the round of sixteen.

Things initially went according to plan for the Germans, as Leverkusen striker Richard Sukuta-Pasu opened the score after 33 minutes at Suez’ As-Suwais stadium.

But the Koreans wouldn’t give up and got an equalizer through Min-Woo Kim in minute 71.

Germany play their final group match against Cameroon on Friday, while Korea need a win against the United States.
