Brazil’s U-17 National Team already knows who its opponent will be in the South American Championship semifinal for the age group. The team coached by Carlos Eduardo Patetuci will face Colombia, which finished second in Group A after beating Paraguay 2-0 this Sunday (12) at Carfem in Ypané.

In Group B, Brazil’s U-17 side finished first with 12 points from four matches. In other words: a 100% record and only one goal conceded, making it the best defense in the competition. In addition, the team also has the best attack: 14 goals scored.

As part of its preparation for the South American Championship, the U-17 team faced Colombia twice at the end of February in Barranquilla (look back here and here). Brazil won the first match 3-1, while the second ended in a 1-1 draw.

Brazil and Colombia will face each other on Thursday (16) at Carfem in Ypané, Paraguay. The winner will advance to the grand final.
