Brazil’s U-17 National Team already knows who its opponent will be in the South American Championship semifinal. The team coached by Carlos Eduardo Patetuci will face Colombia, which finished second in Group A after defeating Paraguay 2-0 this Sunday (12) at Carfem, in Ypané.

In Group B, Brazil finished in first place with 12 points from four matches. In other words: a 100% record and only one goal conceded, giving them the best defense in the competition. In addition, the team also has the best attack, with 14 goals scored.

As part of their preparation for the South American Championship, the U-17 team faced Colombia twice in late February in Barranquilla (look back here and here). Brazil won the first match 3-1, and the second ended in a 1-1 draw.

Brazil and Colombia will face each other on Thursday (16) at Carfem, in Ypané, Paraguay. The winner will qualify for the grand final.
