Brazil defeated Argentina 3-0 on Friday night (10) at Estádio Ameliano Villeta, in the Paraguayan city of Villeta, and sealed qualification for the FIFA U-17 World Cup with one round to go before the end of the first phase of the South American Championship.

In the clash between two major nations, Brazil earned the win with two goals from Riquelme Henrique, both scored in the first half, and one from Eduardo Conceição late in the match. The team reached nine points and also secured a place in the semifinals.

In the 15th minute, the scoring was opened from a corner-kick play. Riquelme was in the six-yard box to take advantage of the rebound from Eduardo Pape’s header and, also with a header, scored Brazil’s first goal of the match.

Brazil doubled the lead to 2-0 in the 39th minute, when Eduardo Pape fooled the defender with a body feint without touching the ball and set up Riquelme Felipe, who only had to tap it into the back of the net.

Late in the game, David Nogueira received the ball at speed, dribbled past the goalkeeper and laid it off for Eduardo Conceição to strike firmly and seal the 3-0 victory.
