Garuda Muda performed better than against Zambia U-17 in the group's first match. They played disciplined and confident.

However, Indonesia U-17 was surprised by Brazil's quick goal through a dead ball situation in the third minute. Starting from a free kick, Luis Eduardo managed to win an aerial duel in a chaos situation in front of Dafa Algasemi's goal.

Eduardo's header failed to reach Dafa, which made Brazil 1-0 ahead.

Even so, Indonesia U-17 gave a positive response. Nova Arianto's team appeared calmly building attacks patiently to find an equalizer.

Several times, Garuda Muda's efforts managed to trouble the Brazilian defense, but have not yielded results.

On the other hand, Brazil appeared more effective. Dafa made several important saves to keep the Indonesia U-17 goal safe.

For example in the 20th minute, when Felipe Morais fired a close-range shot. Dafa managed to block to keep the position 1-0.

Attacks from the Brazilian wing after that were quite troublesome, both from Ruan Pablo and Kayke. Fortunately, Indonesia's U-17 defense is still quick to block.

Not wanting to continue to be depressed, Evandra Florasta and colleagues are also trying to threaten. However, several times breaking into the penalty box has not yet led to an equalizer.

When focused on finding the opening goal, Garuda Muda was again surprised by Brazil's second goal in the 33rd minute.

Starting from the failed attack of the Samba Muda Team, the ball was actually managed to be controlled by Indonesian U-17 players. However, the ball failed to flow so that it was controlled again by Kayke who immediately opened fire.

In fact, his shot was reached by Dafa, but the ball turned after hitting Putu Panji's leg to outwit the goalkeeper and put Brazil 2-0 up.

The position behind the two goals made Indonesia U-17 begin to waver. In the end, in the 39th minute, Brazil managed to score the third goal.

The negligence of the Indonesian U-17 defense made Kayke escape on the right side of the attack and released a pass into the middle.

The ball met Felipe Morais who passed one Garuda Muda player before firing a measured shot which left Dafa dead. Score 3-0.

The three-goal lead for Brazil lasted until halftime.
