Confederations cup 2017: Germany beats Chile to clinch their first ever title

WORLD CUP ambassadors to Russia, Germany, have demonstrated to the world why they are the best football team by emerging the 2017 Confederation cup winners with a young team, after beating the CONMEBOL representatives Chile, 1-0.

It was notably a tough encounter, but the silence was broken without delay at the 20^th minute by Lars Stindl’s goal. The match went on with both sides hoping to change the score in their favour especially Chile, but the gods of football were not on their side till the end.

This is Chile’s first Appearance, whereas Germany is a habitual in the competition of champions. Since its creation in 1992, some 25 years ago, the Germans have always been hoping to complete their football prowess with at least a confederations cup title, which they didn’t get until today.

The world has been taken by surprise by this victory because, almost all of the German big names in the football bonanza like; Thomas Muller, Tony Kroos, Mesut Ozil, and Mario Gotze were nowhere to be found in the selection. Nevertheless, their absence didn’t stop their younger ones led by Julian Draxler to keep the banner flying in victory.

Another victory today was that of Portugal. They thrashed Mexico 2-1 to occupy the third position of the Russian confederations cup. This happened in the absence of Christiano Ronaldo on the pitch and with the giving of red cards to two players, one from each of the sides; Nelsinho from Portugal and Raul Jimenez from Chile.

This competition ends with Cameroon who represented Africa, coming back with nothing to show for, as they were kicked out in the first stage.

After today, it is only in 2021 that another competition of Champions will be organised. This ought to normally take place in Qater, who will host the 2022 world cup, but due to climatic complications, it was moved to an Asian Football Confederation (AFC) country which is yet to be known.
