The Brazilian team became the futsal world champion for the sixth time in its history when it defeated Argentina, 2-1, in the final held at the Humu Arena in Tashkent, Uzbekistan before 12,000 spectators and, in this way, regained the world throne 12 year after their victory in Thailand against Spain in 2012.
The South American classic moved to the World Cup final and there emerged the team coached by Marquinhos Xavier to once again dominate world futsal with goals from Ferrao (min.6), former Barça player, and Rafa Santos (m .13), from ElPozo de Murcia, making it 2-0 at half-time. As well as the saves of Wilian, who was recently selected as the best goalkeeper on the planet, who supported his team in the second period of well-deserved saves.
In a thrilling challenge of the South American classic, Marquinhos Xavier’s students were more accurate to cover the center at the Humo Arena in Tashkent.
The 1-0 came on a ball Marcenio put in with a dead ball at the far post, with the indomitable Ferrão getting ahead of Corso and scoring the first.
The 2-0 came after about seven minutes, with Rafa Santos the fastest after Nico Sarmiento’s rebound from Felipe Valério’s shot.
From there, every approach of the albiceleste ended in the same way: with Willian celebrating every stop and being a nightmare for Matías Lucuix’s team until the score was 2-1, there were two more.
There, and with the goalkeeper player continuing, Mati Rosa was able to hook the ball to cut in and make it 2-1 in the 38th minute.
In those last 120 seconds, Cristian Borruto, on three occasions, and Taborda worried the Brazilian team, but the tie did not come and Brazil won the World Cup again.
Argentina lost for the second consecutive time in the final of the FIFA Futsal World Cup, after winning in 2016. Brazil increased its record to six (1989, 1992, 1996, 2008, 2012 and 2024), surpassing Spain with four , who is second on the list of winners with two.
