Lucas Jorge scores in Brazil Under-15s win | OneFootball

Midfielder Lucas Jorge was the standout player in Brazil’s 1-0 win over Croatia on Tuesday, in the team’s debut at the Vlatko Marković International Tournament, held on Croatian soil. The winning goal for Brazil came from the São Paulo midfielder.

Brazil’s victory came after a balanced, high-intensity match. Deep into second-half stoppage time, the Croatian defense only managed to partially clear the ball, which fell to Lucas Jorge, who finished with a beautiful shot into the top corner. The ball even clipped the angle of the goal before going in, sealing the win for Brazil.

In addition to Lucas Jorge, right-back Ruann also represented São Paulo’s youth academy and started the match.

The Vlatko Marković International Tournament has been held annually since 2019 and is organized by the Croatian Football Federation. Brazil is in Group A alongside England, Japan, and Croatia, and the tournament will take place from May 19 to 24.
