By Communication - Official Club Website - inWith a goal from Flamengo left-back Jorge, Brazil reached the U-20 World Cup final in the early hours of Wednesday (June 17.06). The Flamengo player scored the fourth goal in the 5-0 rout of Senegal and had a great performance in the qualification. Now, the Brazilian National Team faces Serbia in the finals, next Saturday (June 20.06), at 2 am (Brasília time), in Auckland. Midfielder Jajá was on the bench and was rested. "I have no explanation. It's a unique feeling," revealed the athlete after the match.
The team had come from two extra times in which they failed to score in regulation, qualifying on penalties. This time, Brazil scored twice in the first six minutes of the match, with Correa scoring an own goal and Marcos Guilherme. Jean Carlos then played the ball to Jorge, who dribbled past two Senegalese players before breaking into the box and chipping the ball past the goalkeeper. The left-back received a yellow card in the first half and was substituted at halftime.
With the victory, the Brazilian defense has now kept four clean sheets. Throughout the competition, the team conceded only three goals.
