Serbia have won the under-20 World Cup after
beating Brazil 2-1 in the final - despite conceding a stunning goal from
Manchester United's promising youngster Andreas Pereira.
A winner from Nemanja Maksimovic in extra time sealed victory for the
Serbs, bringing them their first ever title as an independent country.
The game had been locked at 1-1 after 90 minutes after an opening goal
from Stanisa Mandic and the wonderful Brazilian equaliser from Pereira.
But the east Europeans clinched it in the
118th minute. Serbian coach Veljko Paunovic said: "They can get to the
top of the world"
"I can tell you in
this generation there is a lot of good players that in the next 10 years
will play in the best games in the world."
"This is the time for this generation to grow up and say farewell to youth football and this is the best way to do it.
"They have to focus on the next 10 years."
