Brazil’s Under-15 National Team defeated Uruguay 7-0 this Saturday (22) at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (RJ), in the team’s final friendly before the Liga Evolução tournament, which will take place in September in Paraguay. Brener, Kelwin, Lucas Jorge, Isaac, Samuell and Gabriel Bueno (2) scored for the young Seleção. On Wednesday (19), Brazil and Uruguay also faced each other at the same venue, with the Brazilian side winning 4-0.

Head coach Guilherme Dalla Déa fielded a very different lineup from the one that played on Wednesday. He wanted to make new observations and clear up any possible doubts ahead of Tuesday’s call-up (25), when he will announce the list of 20 players who will represent Brazil in Liga Evolução.

With another standout performance, Brazil opened the scoring in the 8th minute through Brener, who headed home after an assist from Diego Bento. Despite Uruguay’s tight marking, Dalla Déa’s players moved the ball quickly, were sharp in their movement, and used dribbles to open up plays, constantly threatening the opposition defense.

The second goal came in the 20th minute and was a beauty. Surrounded by three defenders, Kauã Lucas produced a backheel pass to Kelwin, who still had time to dribble past the goalkeeper before finishing.

The scoreline could have been even more emphatic in this half. Shortly after Kelwin’s goal, Lucas Jorge came close to adding another with a stylish finish, but the ball struck the crossbar.

But the tempo did not drop in the second half, even with several substitutions made by Dalla Déa. Gabriel Bueno scored the third in the 4th minute with a highly skillful solo effort. Lucas Jorge made it 4-0 in the 12th minute with a precise strike from outside the box.

In the 14th minute, Gabriel Bueno struck again, breaking through the Uruguayan defense after an assist from his namesake Gabriel. The goals kept coming, and the sixth arrived in the 17th minute through Isaac, who pounced on a rebound from the Uruguayan goalkeeper after Gabriel Bueno’s shot.

Brazil remained in complete control until the final whistle, creating more chances and playing with the same intensity. Before that, however, there was still time for a seventh goal. It came in the 49th minute, when Samuell finished off a cross from the right. Final score: 7-0.
