Victory of Brazil in the SCA U16 Handball, Asunción 2024. In an exciting match played at the CEO, the Brazilian team beat Chile by 30-25.
With a well-worked attack, Chile was able to score the first goal of the match through Gaspar Serrano, as Brazil had started with an open and high defense, pressuring the Chilean central defender.
However, the South Andean team played a 5-1 defense, bothering the Brazilian setters.
During the first half, the game was back and forth, with good attacks from both teams managing to penetrate the opposing defense.
Brazil was also able to take advantage on several occasions of the movements into space of its center, who ended up shooting alone.
Chile was ahead at times, but their rival did not let them overtake them. They finally went to the break with absolute parity, both teams having scored 15 goals.
The second half promised to be just as even and intense as the first half. However, Brazil, with a flatter defense, managed to hinder its rival’s attacks and take the lead for the first time in the entire match.
Mistakes in the Chilean offense and a 4-goal deficit forced coach Matías Salinas to call a timeout.
Chile began to manage their attacks better, but at times they found themselves up against the defense under the three posts of Riquelme Silva. The good saves by the Brazilian goalkeeper and the efficiency of the Brazilian team’s penalty kicks allowed them to win their debut match 30-25.
The scorers were Eduardo Rodrigues of Brazil with 8 goals, while Cristobal Silva scored 6 for Chile.
