THE MATCH

Brazil’s U-17 National Team began the second friendly against Venezuela at a high tempo, taking the initiative and looking to attack from the opening minutes at Granja Comary. With a stronger presence in the attacking half, Brazil moved the ball well and searched for spaces in the Venezuelan defense.

The first good chance came in the 13th minute. Kauê Furquim received a pass from Lucca Carmico. He drove forward and shot, but was denied by the Venezuelan goalkeeper.

Brazil kept up the pressure and threatened again in the 24th minute. Kauê Furquim made a great play and found Lucca Caramico with a precise pass. The forward took full advantage and finished beautifully to score, putting Brazil ahead.

In the 39th minute, Daniel Silva received a second yellow card after committing a foul and was sent off. Down to ten men, Brazil had to reorganize in the closing minutes of the first half and became more cautious in order to contain Venezuela’s attacks.

In the 44th minute, Kauê Furquim had another good chance to extend Brazil’s lead. The forward got into a shooting position and fired at goal, but Venezuela’s No. 1 made the save and prevented Brazil’s second.

Second half

Even with one player fewer since the end of the first half, Brazil did not sit back and kept finding spaces to attack.

In the seventh minute, Rodrigo Júnior burst toward the penalty area and was brought down. The referee awarded a penalty. Kauê Furquim stepped up and struck it powerfully, giving the Venezuelan goalkeeper no chance and doubling Brazil’s lead.

In the 14th minute, a moment of pure inspiration followed. Marcos Pesseti won the ball back in his own half, surged forward freely, and noticed the Venezuelan goalkeeper off his line. Without hesitation, he tried his luck from distance. The ball rose and dropped into the back of the net in a brilliant goal by the Brazilian full-back. A masterpiece at Granja Comary.

Brazil’s National Team remained organized and stayed true to its game plan. Well positioned on the field, the team controlled the key areas and continued to create danger in attack, showing composure in managing the lead built over the course of the match.

Venezuela tried to respond but found a focused Brazil, solid in defense. The team coached by Carlos Eduardo Patetuci controlled the tempo in the closing minutes, dictated play, and sealed the win at Granja Comary with a composed display despite the adversity of playing most of the match with a numerical disadvantage.
