Brazil have claimed their fifth Under-20 World Cup title thanks to a 3-2 extra time win over Portugal in Colombia.
The star of the show was Oscar who bagged a hat-trick, with his winner coming in the 111th minute.
Oscar opened the scoring for the South American giants with a free kick after five minutes, only to see Alex - courtesy of some poor Brazilian defending - level matters four minutes later and then Nelson Oliveira give Portugal the lead shortly before the hour mark.
Not to be outdone, Oscar made it 2-2 in the 78th minute when he rammed home the rebound following Portugal goalkeeper Mika's block from a Dudu shot, before sealing Brazil's success in extra-time with a deft lofted shot.
Mexico defeated France 3-1 in the third-place playoff. Ulises Davila, Jorge Enriquez and Edson Rivera scored for Mexico after Alexandre Lacazette had put France ahead in the eighth minute.ORIGINAL SOURCE
