Palmeiras are the Arnhem Cup U-15 champions. This Sunday (7), the green-and-white team defeated Willem II of the Netherlands 3-1 and lifted the trophy in the traditional international competition held in the city of Arnhem.

The goals in the final were scored by Gabriel Leite, Miguel Messias, and Luis Fhelipe, capping off a flawless campaign by the Academy Boys, who finished the tournament with a perfect record.

Throughout the competition, Verdão won all five matches played against European teams. In the group stage, they beat Cercle Brugge (Belgium), Excelsior Rotterdam (Netherlands), and Vitesse (Netherlands). In the knockout stage, they eliminated Denmark’s Lyngby before claiming the title against Willem II.

The team’s attacking and defensive performances also stood out: 19 goals scored and only one conceded throughout the campaign. Forwards Luis Fhelipe and Miguel Messias finished as the tournament’s top scorers, with four goals each, while Gabriel Leite was named the competition’s best player.

Under coach Lucas Macorin, Palmeiras brought their very best U-15 squad to the Netherlands. Among the 20 registered players, only center-back Murilo Mattos was born in 2012, highlighting the high level of the squad that took part in the tournament.

The team remains in the Netherlands for the next leg of its international tour and will compete in the Marveld Tournament between June 12 and 14 in the city of Groenlo.

Meanwhile, back in Brazil, Palmeiras continue strongly in the São Paulo State U-15 Championship. After thrashing ECUS 6-0 last Saturday (6), Verdão return to state action on the 13th, when they face Guarulhos at Estádio Cícero Miranda.
