History was done in Kochi on Saturday dusk as Niger done a winning entrance in a FIFA foe with a 1-0 feat over Korea DPR in Group D during a FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017. Salim Abdourahmane was a favourite with a usually idea of a match.

It was Korea DPR, however, that had a improved of a first-half exchanges during a Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium. The closest a Asians went to scoring before a mangle was by captain Yun Min, as his long-range bid struck a Nigerien crossbar.

After a interval, it was a African debutants that looked some-more convincing as an aggressive unit. This resulted in an ancestral impulse only before a hour mark.

Some good work on a right side by Habibou Sofiane authorised him to find an unmarked Abdourahmane in a Korea DPR box. With time to collect his spot, a Junior Menas striker slotted his shot past Young Chollima goalkeeper Sin Tae-Song for a 1-0 lead.

Abdourahmane valid a genuine handful for a Korea DPR counterclaim and was detrimental not find a scoresheet again. He forced a good save from Sin before narrowly blank a aim moments later. In a end, a singular idea was adequate for Niger to explain a famous result.
