By the 32nd minute, Brazil U17 extended their lead to 2-0 somewhat lucky when Kayke Ayrton's shot deflected off an Indonesian player’s leg into the net.

With this result, Brazil U17 secured their spot in the next round early with two wins and a goal difference of 11. Meanwhile, Indonesia U17 still has a slim chance to advance since 8 out of 12 best third-placed teams will move on. In the final round, Indonesia U17 will face Honduras, who also lost their first two matches.
In their opening match against Zambia, Indonesia U17 even took the lead but ultimately lost 1-3. Focus and physical fitness remain areas Indonesia U17 must improve. In the second match of Group H, Indonesia U17 will face a very strong opponent, a top favorite for the title, Brazil U17.
Everyone knows how strong Brazil’s youth football is. In their first match, the "Samba dancers" cruised past Honduras with a 7-0 victory. Against the relatively inexperienced Indonesia U17, the score could have been even more lopsided. Another win would secure Brazil U17’s advancement with one match to spare.

Indonesia U17 coach, Nova Arianto, sent a strong message to his players ahead of the match against Brazil U17 in the second round of Group H at the 2025 U17 World Cup. He urged the team to play confidently, not fear physical challenges, and take control of the ball if they want to make a difference against the world’s top opponents.
He wants the players to maintain a fighting spirit, not shy away from duels, and be ready to hold the ball and implement their own style instead of being dragged by the opponent’s pace.
