Full Time: Nigeria 2-0 Mali – Final


Date: Sunday, November 8
Kick-off Time: 19.00 (11pm Nigerian Time)
Venue: Estadio Sausalito, Vina Del Mar
Referee: Michael Oliver (England)

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