Goals from Juju Harris and Myka in a 2-2 draw with Colombia at the South American U-17 Women’s Championship have secured Brazil’s qualification for the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup\u2122.<\/p>\n
With three of the four nations in the final stage qualifying for the global showpiece in the Dominican Republic, Brazil knew – after beating Ecuador three days ago – that a draw would be enough in the second of their three group matches.<\/p>\n
That point was looking unlikely though as Colombia took a 2-0 lead early in the second half only for two goals in as many minutes just after the hour sparked the Brazilian turnaround.<\/p>\n
It was midfielder Myka who scored the decisive goal to complete a fairy tale couple of weeks for the Internacional teenager, who was a late call-up to the squad on the eve of the tournament.<\/p>\n
Having progressed undefeated through the group stage in dominant fashion, scoring nine and conceding just the one, Brazil then sent a further warning with that 4-0 demolition of Ecuador in the Paraguayan city of Ypane.<\/p>\n
Things were far more complicated, though, in this second match of the final phase as a penalty from Nikol Rojas in first-half stoppage-time and then a second, following a rebound, via Maithe Lopez six minutes after the restart had Colombia in control.<\/p>\n
It was captain Juju Harris who started the comeback as she scored from a corner in the 61st minute before Myka’s deflected long-range effort a minute later pulled Brazil level and, ultimately, punched their ticket to the U-17 Women’s World Cup.It’s the fourth straight qualification for the four-time South American champions, who have surprisingly never progressed past the quarter-finals at the U-17 Women’s World Cup.<\/p>\n
With Ecuador edging past the hosts Paraguay 1-0 in the day’s other match, La Tri now sit second and know a point against Colombia in their final fixture will also see them qualify.<\/p>\n
Paraguay, meanwhile, face the daunting task of likely having to defeat Brazil to reach what would be a fourth appearance at the global finals and their first since 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
