The Atlas Lions U20 delivered a stellar performance in the final held in Chile. The talented Yasser Zabiri opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a stunning free-kick that found the back of the Argentinian net.

Just minutes later, in the 29th, Zabiri struck again with a magnificent second goal, capping off a textbook counterattack by the Moroccans.

Thanks to this sensational achievement, Morocco U20 becomes only the second African nation to win the FIFA U20 World Cup, following Ghana's triumph in 2009 in Egypt after a dramatic penalty shootout against Brazil.
