The clash between of the past two FIFA U-17 World Cup champions lived up to its blockbuster billing as Brazil beat England in a high-quality Jakarta contest.<\/p>\n
The result means both sides qualify for the last 16, with England as group winners and the South Americans as runners-up.<\/p>\n
It has been a tournament full of spectacular goals \u00ad\u2013 and England\u2019s Matty Warhurst came within fractions of adding to that collection when he crashed a ferocious effort against the bar on 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
The sides traded chances throughout a pulsating first half and the woodwork was struck again before long, with Brazil forward Estevao Willian\u2019s 20-yard effort cannoning off the post.<\/p>\n
The breakthrough was made just before the interval, Kaua Elias netting his fourth goal of the tournament with controlled low volley.<\/p>\n
A Selec\u00e0\u00f5 started the second half confidently and extended their lead when Da Mata headed in from Lucas Camilo\u2019s inviting cross.<\/p>\n
England fought hard to get back in the game and were awarded a penalty when Joel Ndala was brought down by Pedro Lima. Ndala himself stepped up to hammer the spot-kick home and give the young Lions a lifeline.<\/p>\n
Ryan Garry\u2019s side struggled to build up any sustained momentum thereafter, however, and it was Brazil who looked the more likely to score in the game\u2019s final stages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
