Nigeria made an easy meat of Mexico 3-0 to win the 15th edition of the Fifa U17 World Cup played on Friday evening in Abu Dhabi.

A first half own goal by Erick Aguirre and a mid second half strike from Kelechi Iheanacho were all the highly-talented Nigerians needed to seal a fourth title on Asian soil.

The Golden Eaglets were in supreme form inside a rasping Stadium, ripping the defending world and Concacaf champions to continue their unbeaten run, and claim the trophy for a record fourth time, alongside their triumphs of 1985, 1993 and 2007.

El Tri dominated the early seconds of the tension-soaked encounter but were unable to near the rock solid Nigeria defence. Samuel Okon made the first attempt at goal in the fourth minute but his shot was not enough to threaten the Mexican goalie.




Few minutes later, Ivan Ochoa forced Dele Alampasu to a brilliant safe after his header was punched for a corner by the impressive Nigerian goalie. Mexico’s dominance was short-lived after Erick Aguirre’s own put the Garba Manu ahead in an attempt to clear away Taiwo Awoniyi’s well laid pass meant for Musa Yahaya.

Mexico launched a comeback but their attacking forays were brought under constant check by the Musa Muhammed anchored defence. Alampasu made another brilliant save midway in the first half after saving Ulises Jaimes’s header off a free-kick taken as a result of Aliyu Abubaker’s foul on Alejandro Diaz.

The Eaglets could have scored more goals but were unlucky as Yahaya’s chance in the 40th minute rattled the cross bar before Awoniyi’s side-netted his chance of a pass from Kelechi Iheanacho.



With less than a minute to the end of the first half, Awoniyi’s bicycle kick was parried by goalkeeper Raul Gudino who was well positioned to clear away the Imperial Academy forward’s brilliant effort.
