The
Golden Eaglets of Nigeria Friday put up a sterling display to defeat
Mexico three goals to nothing on its way to winning the FIFA Under-17
World Cup a record fourth time.
Holders
Mexico was humbled at the Mohammad Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi
despite fighting hard to ensure a repeat of the team’s group stage
meeting where they were beaten 6-1 by Nigeria didn’t reoccur.
Mexico had more possession of the ball, but the eaglets did the scoring.
An
excited Coach Garba Manu thanked Nigerians for the support, while
saying he hoped the boys went on to play for other age-group
competitions and someday represent Nigeria on the big stage playing for
the Super Eagles.
An own goal, one from Iheanacho, and a sublime free-kick from Muhammed saw off Mexico in a record breaking feat by the Eaglets.
They are champions of the world for a fourth time, one better than South American giants Brazil.
