Corinthians academy midfielder in Brazil U15 win | OneFootball

On the morning of this Saturday (12), the Brazil National Team faced Venezuela in the third round of the U-15 Evolution League at Parque Guasu, in Luque, Paraguay, and won 2-1. The victory for the Seleção featured a representative from Corinthians’ youth academy: midfielder Lucas Splichal — born in 2011, who came on in the second half.

Brazil opened the scoring in the 17th minute through Gabriel Leite, who was also Lucas Splichal’s replacement in the starting lineup. A few minutes later, Venezuela equalized through Greiver Sánchez. In the 26th minute of the first half, Gabriel Keven found the net and turned the match around for the Seleção.

With the three points, Brazil’s U-15 team reached seven points in three matches — two wins and one draw. In the opening round, the Seleção beat Colombia 1-0 with a goal from Kauã Lucas and then drew 0-0 with Ecuador. At the moment, Brazil sits alone at the top of the South American North Zone group.

Brazil’s U-15 team will wrap up its group-stage campaign next Friday (18) at 8:40 a.m. (Brasília time) against Peru, at the same venue as this morning’s match. Lucas Splichal is one of the mainstays of Corinthians’ U-15 squad and, in recent months, has been tested by Guilherme Nascimento with the U-17s as part of the club’s long-term planning. For the older age group, he has already made eight appearances and scored one goal — seven wins and one loss.
