Germany beat Nigeria to claim U-20 Womens World Cup

Germany have been crowned champions of the U-20 Womens FIFA World Cup after they defeated Nigeria 1-0 in Canada.



The pulsating encounter ended goalless in the first half with a few scoring chances especially for the Africans with two clear opportunities begging to be buried.

 

The Germans got the winner after 98 minutes of play through Lena Petermann who coolly slotted from close range which was enough to win their third trophy in this category.

 

Meanwhile, France saw off Korea DPR in the Third place match winning 3-2 to clinch the Bronze.
