Nigeria played Argentina in the final of the 2005 edition of the competition and it was Lionel Messi who scored first against the Samson Siasia led Flying Eagles.
Chinedu Obasi equalized with a diving header but Argentina were awarded another penalty as Messi stepped up to convert the resulting spot-kick. It ended 2-1.
