Nigeria retain the FIFA U-17 World Cup with a 2-0 win against Mali in Vina Del Mar. According to FIFA.com, 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.
