THE MATCH
Brazil’s Under-20 National Team started the match on the front foot, creating chances.
The team coached by Paulo Victor opened the scoring in the 23rd minute. Bruninho received the ball, controlled it, and found space in front of the opposing defense. The forward cut past his marker and fired into the net. It was Bruninho’s fifth goal in his last five matches for the national team.

Denmark responded in the 31st minute. Olti Hyseni, wearing No. 20, received a pass from Marcus Walker, No. 15, and finished into Kauan’s right corner. The two players appear in the Danish lineup wearing No. 20 and No. 15, respectively.
The equalizer did not change Brazil’s approach. In the 35th minute, the ball fell to Lucas Rodrigues in midfield. The midfielder struck powerfully to put Brazil back in front.
Second half
Brazil came back for the second half without slowing down. In the 12th minute, Heittor extended the lead. Erick Belé won the ball back and set up the forward, who placed his shot neatly into the corner to score Brazil’s third.
In the 14th minute of the second half, Paulo Victor made two changes to the team. Vitão came on for Kauã Prates, while Huguinho replaced Lucas Rodrigues.
The fourth goal came in the 30th minute. Yuri Leles met a good cross from the left, dribbled past the center-back with class, and finished to increase Brazil’s lead.
Even with the advantage on the scoreboard, the team did not let up. Brazil kept creating chances and held Denmark off from any comeback until the final whistle.
