Nigerian Golden Eaglets became only the second
side to retain the FIFA U-17 World Cup with a 2-0 win against Mali in Vina Del
Mar. Nigeria has won five times FIFA U-17 World Cup list date are in 1985, 1993, 2007, 2013, and now in 2015 in Chile.
The Nigerian team won the maiden edition of FIFA U-17 World Cup in 1985
in China, the fifth edition of the tournament in 1993 in Japan, the twelfth
edition of the tournament in 2007 in South Korea,the fifteenth held in the
United Arab Emirates 2013 and again the sixteenth in Chile 2015.
Victor Osimhen stole the show once again thanks to his record-breaking
tenth goal of the tournament, with Funsho Bamgboye adding a second moments
later. Samuel Diarra had saved an early Osinachi Ebere penalty as the Malians
played their part in an entertaining finale to Chile 2015.
The penalty came as both sides were
just finding their rhythm in the opening exchanges, Chato the culprit with a
handball. Ebere saw his low effort saved brilliantly by Diarra, the No17’s
follow up header hit the bar before a third bite of the cherry was blocked by
the Malian defence.
