Brazil, the reigning South American champions, started the Under-20 World Cup in Argentina with a defeat against the Italian team. Quickly, after 11 minutes, winger Matteo Prati arrives at the back, takes advantage of a comb in the area and scores the first goal. Then comes Casadei’s brace for Canarinha who leads 0-3 in the locker room.
Since the 2003 World Cup, Brazil have not lost by three goals in the first half of an Under-20 World Cup. That year they started losing by three goals to Australia and the game finished 3-2. If he scores one more goal, Italy would cause him their worst defeat in the history of the 103 matches in the history of the category.
In the second half, Brazil went looking for a discount and obtained it thanks to Marcos Leonardo who took advantage of a ball lost in the area and gave birth to the South American team.
