Ukraine thrashed France to finish third
Brazil goals: Ferrao (6), Rafa (13) Argentina goal: Matias Rosa (39) Player of the Match: Willian (Brazil)
Ferrao had barely kicked a ball in 18 months. Marquinhos Xavier was blasted for boldly including the pivot in his squad for Uzbekistan 2024. Tonight, in the biggest game of his glorious career, Ferrao, as many predicted, got injured. He did so, however, scoring the biggest goal of his life: one that put Brazil en route to the trophy. The Brazil coach made another courageous decision going into the tournament. He decided that Willian would be his go-to goalkeeper ahead of Guitta, one of the best ever in the position. The bearded No3 duly performed miracles throughout, headlining the final and seizing the adidas Golden Glove. Marlon, Marcel and Dyego were also outstanding for the Seleção. Twelve years is a long time to wait for a futsal-crazy country, but Brazil are back on top of the world.
