Lucca comes on and quickly takes part in a goal

Coach Eduardo Patetuci started the match against Colombia with Arthur do Vale; Otávio, Daniel Silva, Breno Sales and Richard Wendel; Justen, Pape and Eduardo Conceição; Kauê Furquim, João Couto and Lucas Emanuel.

Brazil needed only three minutes to open the scoring. After a mistake by the Colombian defense, Pape won back possession and found Eduardo Conceição. The player struck from outside the box to put Brazil ahead.

Lucca Caramico started on the bench and was brought on in the 17th minute of the second half, replacing Eduardo Conceição.

Just a few minutes were enough for the Corinthians player to be involved in the second goal. Lucca broke forward down the left on a counterattack and found João Couto unmarked. The forward controlled it and finished past the goalkeeper to extend the lead and seal Brazil’s 2-0 win.

Four goal contributions in the tournament

The assist against Colombia capped an impressive run for Lucca in the Friendship Tournament. In four matches played by Brazil in the competition, the midfielder recorded four direct goal contributions, with two goals scored and two assists for teammates to find the net.

Brazil also posted strong numbers collectively. There were three wins and only one defeat, with 11 goals scored during the competition.

The campaign began with a 6-0 rout of Canada. Then the Brazilian team beat Ivory Coast 2-1. The only defeat came against Spain, 3-1, a result that sent the Seleção to the third-place match.

The 2-0 victory over Colombia brought Brazil’s participation in the European tournament to an end.

Midfielder returns to Corinthians for decisive stretch

With his national team duty now over, 17-year-old Lucca Caramico turns his focus back to Corinthians. The midfielder has been one of the main names in Corinthians’ Under-17 side during the 2026 season.

In addition to his performances this season, the midfielder ranks first among Corinthians Under-17’s top scorers in records available since 2017. He has 27 goals in 61 matches for the age group.

His return comes at a decisive moment in Corinthians’ schedule. The club is simultaneously playing the knockout stages of the main competitions in the category.

In the Brazilian Under-17 Championship, the next match will be against Flamengo on Wednesday (7), at 5:30 p.m., at Estádio Luso-Brasileiro, in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

After taking part in Brazil’s campaign in Switzerland, Lucca is once again available for Timãozinho for the final stretch of the season, while also remaining on the radar of the Brazil national team ahead of the Under-17 World Cup, scheduled for November in Qatar.
