A bold victory over England (1-2) and the total objective difference with respect to Iran allowed Brazil passed as second in the group in the round of 16 of the U-17 World Cup, a round in which they will face each other Ecuador.
Both offer a very attractive clash, a constant back-and-forth with chances at both goals usually ending, in the first half, Messino and Matthew Warhurst. The Brazilian, electric, troubled the opposition defense with his drives to the edge of the area and caused concern with his finishes. English was a nightmare because of his ability to finish everything that happened to him.
The sticks, protagonists
They both met with sticks, Warhurst with an acrobatic shot that crashed into the crossbar and Messino by a cross shot. The first of them also had a header that he took over the line Philip Gabriel. And the second created the game leading 0-1 with a hit denied by the defense that fell at the feet of Come on Eliaswho did not forgive.
The goal made it difficult for the English, to the point of locking the rival in their place at the start of the second half. However, in one of the few moments of relief for ‘Canarinha’, they managed to increase the lead thanks to a header from Da Mata after the center João Henrique.
That has not served to close the conflict since England had time to close the gap thanks to a penalty made by Pedro Lima about Joel Ndala which was converted by the receiver after the referee checked for a few minutes. From there everything opened up again, being Brazil the one that came closest to scoring with a header from Luigi and a shot of Lorraineactions he brilliantly responded to Charlie Setford.
