Corinthians U17 top scorer nets in Brazil U17 friendly | OneFootball

Throughout the morning this Sunday (23), the Brazil Under-17 National Team took the field to face Venezuela at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (RJ), headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), and won 3-0. The only Corinthians player called up to the youth national team, Lucca Caramico, scored the goal that opened the scoring for the Seleção.

The goal came in the 23rd minute of the first half, when Kauê Furquim, developed in Timão’s youth academy and now at Bahia, received the ball in midfield, surged forward with it and played a through ball to Caramico, who went one-on-one with the Venezuelan goalkeeper and found the net for Brazil’s youth side.

Coach Carlos Eduardo Patetuci named the following lineup to start the match: Werneck; Marcos Pesseti, Daniel Silva, Murilo Camargo and Arthur Monteiro; Vinicius Rocha, Eduardo Pape and Lucca Caramicco; Kauê Firquim, Riquelme and Rodrigo Júnior. Last Thursday (20), the Terrão graduate had also featured in the first friendly against Venezuela, at the same venue, which ended in a 2-1 Brazilian win.

The two friendlies played by the Brazil national team are part of the preparation for the Under-17 World Cup, which will take place in November in Qatar. Lucca Caramico, it is worth noting, is Corinthians Under-17’s top scorer in 2026, under Guilherme Nascimento, with 14 goals in 19 matches, 10 of them in the Brazilian Championship.

Last year, he had already stood out in the category, scoring eight goals in 36 matches for the team then coached by Raphael Laruccia. At 17 years old, his contract with Timão runs until May 2028. With Lucca Caramico likely available, Timãozinho returns to action at the start of this week.

Next Tuesday (25), at 3 p.m. Brasília time, Timãozinho will visit América-MG at Arena URBSAN, in Betim, Minas Gerais, for the 13th round of the national competition. At the moment, Alvinegro sits fourth with 23 points — seven wins, two draws and three defeats — 32 goals scored and 12 conceded.
