Lucas Jorge scores in Brazil Under-15s win | OneFootball

Midfielder Lucas Jorge was the standout player in Brazil’s 1-0 victory over Croatia on Tuesday, in the team’s debut at the Vlatko Marković International Tournament, held in Croatia. The winning goal for Brazil came from the São Paulo midfielder.

Brazil’s win came after a balanced, high-intensity match. Deep into second-half stoppage time, the Croatian defense only partially cleared the ball, which fell to Lucas Jorge to fire a beautiful shot into the top corner. The ball even clipped the angle of the goal before going in, securing the win for Brazil.

In addition to Lucas Jorge, right-back Ruann also represented São Paulo’s youth academy and started the match.

The Vlatko Marković International Tournament has been held annually since 2019 and is organized by the Croatian Football Federation. Brazil is in Group A alongside England, Japan, and Croatia, and the tournament will take place between May 19 and 24.
