Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets have won the  FIFA U-17 World Cup defeating Mali by 2 goals to nothing.

Eaglets, who are defending champions were too hot for the young Malians to handle as they scored two goals within 3 mins in the second half.

Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen, the tournament’s highest goal scorer, stole the show once again thanks to his record-breaking tenth goal of the tournament, with Funsho Bamgboye adding a second moments later.

Mali’s goalkeeper Samuel Diarra had saved an early Osinachi Ebere penalty as the Malians played their part in an entertaining finale to Chile 2015.
