PHOTOGRAPHY BY RMYC/EMMA TRANTER Serbia win Under-20 World Cup SERBIA scored two minutes from the end of extra time to beat Brazil 2-1 and win the Un- der-20 World Cup. Nemanja Maksimovic finished a counter attack to seal Serbia's first football title as an inde- pendent nation. The game had been locked at 1-1 after 90 minutes, with Sta- nisa Mandic giving Serbia hope of their first title as an inde- pendent nation with 20 minutes remaining but Andreas Pereira equalised three minutes later. Heav y rain and strong cold winds had pounded New Zea- land for the past three days and while fans were soaked during the earlier match for third place, the rain had stopped by the time the sold-out final kicked off. The Brazilians had the best clearcut chances in the first half, with Jean Carlos and Gabriel producing two top-class saves from the Serbia captain, Predrag Rajkovic. His team-mate in midfield Sergej Milankovic was un- lucky not to score in the second minute of added time in the first half when his header from a cor- ner was well saved by Jean. The Brazil goalkeeper, who had not conceded a goal since the eighth minute of their sec- ond group game against Hun- gary, was finally beaten when an unmarked Stanisa Mandic stroked the ball home in the 70th minute to end the streak at 571 minutes. Brazil, however, did not have to wait long for an equaliser, with Manchester United 's Perei- ra jinking his way past four de- fenders to level the match three minutes later for an excellent individual goal. Pereira had only come on as a 65th-minute substitute for a visibly incensed Boschilia, who calmed down when his team-mate shot past Rajkovic's outstretched left hand. Rajkovic produced another world-class save late in extra time, before his team-mates swept down field and Maksi- movic was left one on one with Jean and he calmly slotted home to end Brazil 's hopes of a sixth world title. In the earlier match for third place, Adama Traoré produced two sensational long-range strikes to help Mali beat 10-man Senegal 3-1, first equalising with a curling left-footed free-kick in the 74th minute, 10 minutes after Senegal 's Ibrahima Wadji had opened the scoring. Traoré then blasted a right-foot shot past Ibrahima Sy before Di- adie Samassekou completed the victory when he scored in added time. Sy and his Mali counter- part Djigui Diarra both saved penalties in the final 15 minutes. The Senegal defender Moussa Ba had been sent off in the final minute of the first half by the Egyptian referee, Ghead Grisha, for his second yellow card.
