Junior Atlas Lions of Morocco on Sunday in far away Santiago the Chilean capital repeated history written by Black Meteors of Ghana in 2009 in youth soccer competition
The North Africans thrashed their opponents Junior Albaceleste of Argentina two nil to lift the biennial U20 world cup for the first time in their lifetime
The Moroccans had earlier whipped Junior Les Bleus of France by five goal to four via penalty kicks in the semi final before descending on the mighty South Americans who won the event on a record six time but found the Arabs hard nuts to crackl in the game as the mighty South Americas overpowered them in all departments of the game hence looked so dejected and shabby in final duel
The junior Atlas Lions as the Moroccans teenagers were admirably called forget the record set by North Africans as it is a matter of eleven players facing similar set of players and sent them packing by two enterprising goals to make teeming Africans proud in the global event for the second time since it started as early as 1977 in neighbouring North African state of Tunisia
In the third place match Columbia walloped France by alone goal in a match played on Saturday to emerge victorious at the two year global competition
