Brazil and Argentina face off again this Sunday (22nd) at 8 PM (Brasília time) at the Luis Alfonso Giagni Stadium for the final hexagonal of the South American U-20 Women's Championship, in a duel that brings together two of the continent's main forces and could directly influence the fight for the title and the spots in the category's World Cup.

Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, and Paraguay compete in the final stage in a round-robin format, with the top four securing qualification for the U-20 World Cup.

The match also carries a sense of revenge for the Brazilian team. In the last round of the group stage, the Brazilians were defeated by Argentina 2-1 at the Luis Alfonso Giagni Stadium in Villa Elisa. On that occasion, Brendha opened the scoring for Brazil, but the team suffered a comeback in the final stage and finished the initial phase as the runner-up of Group B, with nine points and the best attack up to that point, with 15 goals scored.

Now, the scenario is different. After two rounds of the hexagonal, Brazil and Ecuador share the lead with six points, while Paraguay is right behind. Argentina and Venezuela each have one point, and Colombia is still seeking its first victory in the decisive phase. The balance at the top of the table increases the weight of the classic, which could consolidate Brazil at the top or put the Argentinians back in the direct fight for the title.
