A 63' strike by Haris Seferovic gives Switzerland their first ever FIFA world title. They withstood a furious onslaught by the Super Eaglets. Nigeria outscored the Swiss in every statistical department except the one that counted most.

The Swiss U-17 have a great nucleus with a rock solid defense and some fine attacking talent in Veseli, Khalifa and Seferovic. I think this team when it matures has the potential to make Switzerland a world power in football.
Well at first look Nigeria was outperforming them and dominated...
After a second look it's clear Switzerland outperformed the opponent tactically (and they had the luck they needed to overcome the rare real scoring occasions of Nigeria). Swiss "let" nigerians dominate where it "doesn't hurt" - soon "second-row-shoots" occured, as Nigeria wasn't able to go through the swiss defence anymore.
Incredible, no?!
Sorry guys, Switzerland won. Tb honest, I don't know how the managed ro beat all the great teams in the world, but they did it. Switzerland has maybe a quarter of cirizens in number compared to football player in tis age in nigerua. Can't believe it - yeaaaaaah
