And Nigeria
After placing third in the Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeria will be playing in the U-20 World Cup for the 13th time, a record among countries on the continent. After bronze in 1985, the Nigerians came close to lifting the trophy on two occasions, but finished as runners-up in both 1989 and 2005.
In their quest for a first world title, the Green Eagles have already secured their place in the next round, thanks to two victories, against the modest Dominican Republic, 2-1, with Samson Adeniran Lawal and De Peña (Contra) scoring the goals, and then against Italy, 2-0, with goals scored by Salim Lawal and Jude Sunday.
The start on the right foot has left the Nigerian team in first place in group D with six points.
How Brazil arrives
Classified as South American champion, the Brazilian National Team returns to the World Cup after two years of absence. After the runner-up spot in 2015, in New Zealand, with defeat to Serbia in the final, the country did not qualify for the 2017 and 2019 editions. In 2021, the competition was cancelled because of the Corona virus pandemic.
However, the debut was not the best. Brazil was losing 3-0 to Italy, but Marcos Leonardo reduced the loss to 3-2. The "canarinho" jersey is in third place, without a single point. After the setback came a 6-0 thrashing of the Dominican Republic.
The goals were scored by Savio, Marcos Leonardo, Jean Pedroso, Giovane, Marlon Gomes and Matheus Martins. With the result, the "canarinho" jersey took second place in the group, with three points, the same as Italy, but with an advantage in goal difference.
