NIGERIA WON FIFA U-17 TROPHY BACK TO BACK BY BEATING MALI 2 NIL.

The Golden Eaglets brought down Les Aiglonnets in Vina del Mar to lift the U17 World champions for a record fifth time

Mali’s dream of lifting a first ever Fifa U17 World Cup faded in thin air in Viña del Mar as they crumbled 2-0 to Nigeria at the Estadio Sausalito.

Second half strikes from Victor Osimhen and Funsho Bamgboye were all the Eaglets needed to become world champions for a record fifth time, and the second country to successfully defend their title after Brazil.

Victor Osimhen has also broken the record for most goals scored in a Fifa U17 World Cup final. His 10 goals have put him above Florent Sinama Pongolle and Souleymane of Cote d'Ivoire.

Nigeria have now won their fifth Fifa U17 World Cup, a record for any country. They also maintain their record of never losing to African opposition.
