Tanzania boys win 2014 Street Child World Cup Tanzania boys won the 2014 Street Child World Cup producing a powerful performance to beat their neighbours Burundi 3-1. After the game both teams joined together to stress that the Street Child World Cup was more than just a game, and to congratulate the players from all teams at the tournament. Tanzania and Burundi had already faced each other in the 2014 Street Child World Cup in the opening fixture of the group stages. Tanzania had looked on course for an impressive opening victory, taking a two-goal lead, only for Burundi to demonstrate their remarkable resilience to mount a second half comeback and get a draw. So when Tanzania were 2-0 up at half time in the final they were very aware that the game was far from over. But instead of letting Burundi back into the game, this time Tanzania scored the first goal of the second half, completing a hat-trick for Frank, to put the game out of Burundi’s reach. Although Burundi got a consolation goal, it was too late to change the outcome of the game. In the first half despite having the better of the opening exchanges Burundi failed to get a shot on target. Burundi moved the ball around with familiarly impressive passing, but failed to test the Tanzania keeper. Then after seven minutes a clever sidestep by Frank left him in space and he fired home into the top corner. The goal against the run of play began a passage of end-to-end action, which only ended when Frank bagged his second goal from a tight angle.
