Striker Yassir Zabrini scored twice as Morocco won its first Under-20 World Cup title with a 2-0 win over Argentina.
Zabrini scored in the 12th and 29th minutes of Sunday’s final to help Morocco become the first African country to win the U20 title since Ghana in 2009.
Morocco topped its group against Spain, Brazil and Mexico and then advanced above South Korea, the United States and France in the knockout stages.
It was the first defeat in the tournament for Argentina, which was aiming for its seventh title.
Argentina reached the final despite missing the two best players in this age group, Claudio Echeverri of Bayer Leverkusen and Franco Mastantuono of Real Madrid.
