Without further due introducing the former Three-time World U-17 champions Brazil and European force Spain will take on each other in a highly-excitement exhibition clash between title challengers of the FIFA Under-17 World Cup here on Saturday. This face-off between two dominant contenders, The South American champions Brazil and European qualifying tournament winners Spain at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium. Brazil is the tempting the fans favourites of here in India also and Spain will close to feel like playing in Rio de Janiero or Sau Paulo, but to their good chance the crowd may not be as loud as usual because FIFA has forced the local organisers to reduce the capacity of the stadium to just 29,200 to act in accordance with the world body's harsh emigration-related rules.

Full-time: Brazil 2-1 Spain. Brazil’s brutality in attack pays off as they win the game 2-1 and go top of Group D. Brazil is a redoubtable force even in the age group, having appeared 15 times in 16 editions before India and winning the U-17 World Cup trophy thrice (1997, 1999 & 2003). They finished runners-up in 1995 and 2005, third in 1985 and fourth in 2011. Their lonely absence came at Japan 1993. In the last edition in 2015 in Chile, they were knocked out by concluding champions Nigeria in the quarterfinals.

On the other hand, the Spain is searching for their maiden FIFA U-17 World Cup title in their ninth appearance in FIFA U-17. A line of recognized players of the caliber of Xavi Hernandez, Andreas Iniesta or Iker Casillas has not been able to lift the trophy at different editions. Despite their record haul of three UEFA European U-17 Championships, Spain have never managed to win the FIFA U-17 World Cup. Runners-up in 1991, 2003 and 2007.
