[UNDER-17 WORLD CUP] Brazil earned its second 6-1 win in two games at the Under-17 World Cup, this time against the host United Arab Emirates, to join Italy, Japan
and Tunisia, also winners of their first two games, as the first teams to ensure passage to the round of 16.
For the
second game in a row,
Nathan had two goals for Brazil, which also got two early goals from
Boschilia and one goal apiece
from
Joanderson and Santos youngster
Gabriel.
Taro Sugimoto had two
goals for Japan in its 3-1 win over Venezuela on Monday, while Italy and Tunisia both earned 1-0 wins in their second games.
