🚨 Portugal edge past Austria to win U17 World Cup final | OneFootball

The Portugal national team made history at the U-17 World Cup and were crowned champions after a 1–0 win over Austria in Thursday’s final.

A solitary goal from Anísio Cabral was enough to lift the trophy.

The victory crowns an impeccable campaign and confirms the potential of a new and brilliant generation of Portuguese footballers.

Portugal’s superiority was evident, especially in the first half, where high pressing and pace on the wings constantly troubled the Austrian defense.

The goal that secured the world title came in the 31st minute of the first half.

Duarte Cunha, one of the standouts of the tournament, delivered a low cross. Forward Anísio Cabral made no mistake.

In the third-place match, Italy beat Brazil on penalties (4–2) after a goalless draw in regular time.
