Brazil tasted victory in the championship

Sports Desk //


Brazil had a nightmare start to the CONMEBOL Under-20 Football Championship. In the group stage, the successors of Ronaldo and Neymar lost 6-0 to arch-rivals Argentina. However, in the end, Brazil broke Argentina’s dream and tasted victory in the South American Under-20 Championship for the second time in a row.

After the first 4 matches in the final stage, both Brazil and Argentina had 10 points. As a result, the two teams were waiting to decide the title in the last match. Brazil defeated Chile 3-0 in the last match. As a result, Argentina had to score 4 goals to win the title. But far from winning, Argentina lost 3-2 to Paraguay in the last match. And that confirmed the title for Brazil.
The Brazil-Argentina duel means a different kind of madness around the world. Be it at the senior or junior level. That heat was also seen in the Latin American U-20 Football Championship. Especially after starting the tournament by conceding 6 goals to Argentina, netizens were trolling Brazil. At that time, many had written Brazil off the list of potential title-winning teams. On the other hand, Argentina was seen as the champion.
But in the end, Brazil maintained its superiority. Brazil faced Chile on Monday morning at the Jose Antonio Stadium in Venezuela. Both teams played at their best. The first half ended in a goalless draw. Even until the 72nd minute of the match, the fans did not see any goals. However, the Brazilian youth team made a great comeback in the last 17 minutes of the match.

They scored the ball in the opponent’s net 3 times between the 73rd and 88th minutes of the match. During this time, David Washington, Pedro and Ricardo Mathias scored for Brazil. And with that, Kaka-Ronaldinho’s successors left the field with a big 3-0 victory. Brazil, in addition to beating Chile, is three points ahead of Argentina and also has a goal difference (+4). Argentina needed to win the title by at least 4-0 against Paraguay in the last match.
