Ecuador and Brazil meet this Monday in the round of 16 of the U-17 World Cup in Indonesia 2023.
After overcoming a scare after losing to Iran (2-3), Canarinha rallied again with a win over New Caledonia and a win against England (2-1) in a great game. They will now face Ecuador, second in Group A after a 1-1 draw against hosts Indonesia, a 2-0 win over Morocco and a 1-1 draw against Panama.
Diego Martínez’s side, runners-up in the last South American game, drew 2-2 with Brazil in the first leg and the final hexagonal, meaning a tough fight looms this Monday in the match that will open the round of 16 at the Manahan Stadium in Surakarta.
The winner of this clash will face the winner of Argentina and Venezuela in the quarter-finals to be played on Tuesday at the Jalak Harupat Stadium in Bandung. (D)
