A round-up of Thursday's FIFA U20 World Cup Group matches as the tournament reaches Day 6.
Nigeria 4-0 Korea DPR
Nigeria bounced backed after their opening loss to Brazil with a 4-0 win over Korea thanks to a brace from Saviour Godwin, and goals from Kingsley Sokari and Isaac Success. The Flying Eagles will need to win their last game against Hungary to ensure automatic qualification from the group stages.
Nigeria's U-20 coach Manu Garba has said that his half-time team talk ensured the win. "We had a plan for what we wanted to do (in the first half) but they weren't doing the right thing. We talked to the team and in the second half and they got the job done."
Germany 3-0 Uzbekistan
Germany won their second game in a row with a 3-0 win over Uzbekistan. Marc Stendera scored a brace, while Kevin Akpoguma scored the other for the team to go through to the next round.
Honduras 0-3 Fiji
Fiji, who lost 8-1 to Germany in their first game, kept their hopes alives when they beat Honduras 3-0 on Thursday. Iosefu Verevou and Saula Waqa scored for Fiji while there was also an own goal from Kevin Alvarez.
Hungary 1-2 Brazil
Brazil grabbed a 2-1 win over Hungary thanks to a penalty in the last few minutes of the game. Danilo scored Brazil's first goal while Andreas Pereira converted from the spot. Bence Mervo scored for Hungary.
