As the final stage of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, being held in Qatar, approached, the bronze medal match also took on a peculiar intensity. In the third-place match, the Brazilian and Italian youth teams faced off, and both sides made every effort to win.
The main part of the meeting was organized very carefully and sharply, as expected. Despite several dangerous attacks by both teams, they were unable to score. As a result, the fate of the match depended on a penalty shootout, known in the football world as the "lottery."
In the penalty shootout, the Italian juniors showed more cohesive and smoother. They won 4-2 and took third place in the tournament. This victory was a significant boost for the Italian national team - the team achieved its goal in the playoffs, surpassing several strong opponents.
It should be noted that in this World Cup, Italy's youth team defeated Uzbekistan in the 1/8 finals with a score of 3:1. In that match, the Italians also dominated in terms of high technique, speed, and reaction.
Thus, Italy's youth team has finished the World Cup with dignity and is about to return to their homeland with a fantastic victory. The final of the competition will decide the fate of the main prize between Portugal and Austria.
