Germany scored in the 8th minute of extra time to beat Nigeria 1-0 to claim the FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup at Montreal's Olympic Stadium in Canada.
The victory is Germany’s record, third top finish at this competition, after winning the event in 2004 and 2010.
Nigeria was the better team for much of the game, as they pinned the Germans to their own half for lengthy periods of time.
Nigeria's midfielder Asisat Oshoala, who came into the game leading seven goals, was a threat to the Germans for most parts of the game.
But it was Germany’s Lena Petermann who broke the deadlock in extra time, firing home from close range for her third goal of the competition.
Earlier, France beat North Korea 3-2 in the third-place match.
