On Wednesday 28 October 2026, Poland's women's under-17 team played Brazil in the last 16 of the World Cup in Morocco. The match ended 3-3, and a penalty shootout decided who would reach the quarter-finals. Brazil won it 8-7.
How the match went
Brazil took the lead in the 11th minute through a goal from Kelly. Poland responded towards the end of the first half. First, Nicola Gałuszka scored from outside the penalty area, and two minutes later she set up Zofia Burzan. Burzan found herself one-on-one with the goalkeeper and finished the chance. In a short space of time the score changed from 0-1 to 2-1 to Poland, and the teams went in at half-time with that result.
After the break, Brazil set about pulling the score back. Bontorim equalised, and in the 73rd minute Pepe put them ahead again. Poland did not accept defeat. In the 83rd minute Zofia Burzan scored her second goal of the match and made it 3-3.
Penalties
Nothing changed in regulation time, so a shootout decided who went through. It was closely fought: Brazil won 8-7 and will play in the next round of the tournament. For Poland, it means the end of their World Cup.
The author of the report on the Sportowe Fakty website stresses that the Poland players showed character. They first turned the score around from 0-1 to 2-1, and then, after conceding, levelled at 3-3.
What next
Brazil have advanced to the quarter-finals of the U-17 World Cup. The Polish team finish the tournament in the last 16.
