Nigeria's Golden Eaglets have won the 2015 U17 World championship. They
beat Mali 2-0 at the finals which was played in Chile in the early hours
of Monday
morning. The Cup triumph means that the Nigerians have successfully
defended the title they won two years ago in the UAE. Congrats to them.
Two quickfire second half goals from Victor Osimhen and
Funsho Bamgboye ensured that Emmanuel Amuneke's men cruised to victory
as Nigeria claimed their fifth world title at under-17 level.
It is the first time that the Nigerians are winning the
title outside of the Asian continent. Their previous successes have been
in China in 1985, Japan in 1993, Korea Republic in 2007 and UAE in
2013.
