The team of Nigeria celebrate after winning the FIFA U-17 Men’s World Cup 2015 final match between Mali and Nigeria at Estadio Sausalito

Nigeria became only the second side to retain the FIFA U-17 World Cup with a 2-0 win against Mali in the Chilean city of Vina Del Mar on Sunday night.

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.
