The Brazil U-17 team advances to the quarterfinals of the World Cup after a dramatic victory over France. The match featured a key goal by 16-year-old Cruzeiro player Pietro Tavares, who scored in the 44th minute of the second half with a remarkable shot, tying the game at 1-1 and sending it to penalties. Tavares, born in December 2008 in Campos dos Goytacazes, has been a standout for Cruzeiro, leading their U-17 scoring with eight goals this season and signing a professional contract until September 2028. The young talent also secured a sponsorship deal with Nike. In the penalty shootout, goalkeeper João Pedro, also from Cruzeiro, was the hero, saving two penalties and helping Brazil win the shootout. Brazil will face Morocco or Mali in the next round. The match took place in Doha, Qatar, with all eight knockout games scheduled for the same day, starting at 9:30 am Brasília time. Brazil’s previous matches included wins over Honduras and Indonesia and a draw with Zambia in the group stage. The tournament continues with the quarterfinals, and Brazil’s victory highlights the emergence of young talents like Pietro Tavares on the international stage.
