Nigeria’s
Golden Eaglets became the first country to win the FIFA Under-17 World
Cup for the fourth time on Friday after handing a comprehensive 3-0
defeat to their Mexican counterparts, El Tri, at the El Zayed Stadium
in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Despite the stiff opposition and the
early attacking play of the Mexicans, who had suffered a 6-1 defeat in
the hands of the Nigerians in their opening group match, the Golden
Eaglets got the first goal when Mexico’s Eric Aguirre, who was under
pressure from Eaglets Musa Yahaya in the ninth minute, tap the ball into
his own net.
