The final participant of the 2015 U-17 World Cup final will be decided Thursday night. Mexico and Nigeria meet yet again, with the former looking to avenge 3-0 loss in the 2013 U-17 World Cup final.
Nigeria’s quest to the semifinal included routes over Chile and the United States in the group stage. The Golden Eagles followed those six points with an aggregate 9-0 score in the Round of 16 and quarterfinals.
Not to be outdone, Mexico shined in a group that featured powerhouses Germany and Argentina.
Unbeaten this World Cup, El Tri dispatched Chile 4-1 in the Round of 16 and cruised past Ecuador in the quarterfinals. It’s a battle of two unstoppable forces ready to collide.

Mexico closing in on semifinal vs. Nigeria. Would be a repeat of 2013 U-17 final and a huge test. Nigeria just beat Brazil 3-0 and Aus 6-0.
