U-20 World Cup: Serbia Make History, Humble Brazil

Surprise package  Stanisa Mandic of Serbia lifts the FIFA U-20 World Cup after victory over Brazil in the FIFA U-20 World Cup Final match between Brazil and Serbia at North Harbour Stadium on June

Serbia left it late to win their first ever FIFA U-20 World Cup title, with Nemanja Maksimovic grabbing a dramatic extra time winner to seal victory. He had earlier set up Stanisa Mandic to open the scoring before substitute Andreas Pereira sent the game to extra time with a leveller for Brazil, who dominated possession but were undone by swift Serbian counter-attacks.

Magic Mali Blow Away Senegal For U-20 WC Bronze
In the losers’ final, the Mali U20 team defeated Senegal’s U20 3-1 to win the bronze medal at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
A second half double from Adamama Traore ensured Les Aiglons ensured Joseph Koto’s team failed in their bid to end their debut on a high despite taking the lead through Ibrahima Wadji  in a cracker that saw two penalty saves at the North Harbour Stadium.
Senegal entered Saturday’s game hoping to restore some pride following a 5-0 semi-final drubbing against Brazil. However, they were undermined as second-half goals from Traore and a Diadie Samasseko injury-time effort ensured Fanyer Diarra’s team took the dubious honour of finishing third.
