SUWON, South Korea (AP) England won the Under-20 World Cup final beating Venezuela 1-0 on Sunday for its first global title since 1966.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored in the first half, and goalkeeper Freddie Woodman preserved the lead by saving a second-half penalty from Adalberto Penaranda.
England arrived in South Korea without winning a game in this competition in 20 years, and leave as the surprising champion.
Venezuela, which has never qualified for the senior World Cup, had the first chance when Ronaldo Lucena’s free kick hit the post.
Calvert-Lewin broke the deadlock 10 minutes before the break.
