Brazil vs Mali News

After the match, the fans reciprocated the Brazilians' acknowledgement of their support, but they also appreciated with loud cheers when Mali threatened.

With 56432 spectators turning up at the Salt Lake Stadium to watch the Brazil versus Mali match, the total attendance of the FIFA U-17 World Cup reached 1280459. Before this match, a mere 6949 attendance was needed to break the record.

Also, it's a sweet revenge for England. They lost to Spain in the U-17 European Championship, earlier this year.

A goal feast can be expected from two of the most aggressive sides in the tournament. While England have scored 18 goals so far, Spain have 15 to their credit. England are playing in their maiden final in their fourth appearance while Spain have featured as losing finalists on three earlier occasions in 1991, 2003 and 2007. Brazil, the pre-tournament and crowd favourites, were distraught after their 1-3 loss to England in the semifinals.

With little at stake after losing in the semifinals, both sides will go all out in their bid to sign off on a winning note and this bronze medal match could turn out to be a goal fest.
