Nigeria TV Info — Morocco Makes History, Wins FIFA U-20 World Cup

Santiago, Chile — Morocco created history on Sunday by winning the FIFA U-20 World Cup for the first time, defeating Argentina 2-0 in the final at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos.

Yassir Zabiri opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a brilliant curling free-kick that beat Argentine goalkeeper Santino Barbi. Morocco doubled their lead in the 28th minute when Othmane Maamma provided the assist for Zabiri to finish from close range.

Despite Argentina controlling possession with 71 percent of the ball, the South Americans struggled to convert their dominance into goals. Morocco’s disciplined defence, combined with crucial saves from their goalkeeper, kept the Argentine attack at bay throughout the match.

VAR reviews and several free-kick opportunities could not change the outcome, as Morocco reinforced their defence in the second half through tactical substitutions, frustrating Argentina’s attempts to equalise.

Zabiri’s two-goal performance earned him the Man of the Match award, cementing a historic victory and a memorable night for Moroccan football.
