Brazil vs Senegal 5:0

Christchurch Stadium, Christchurch
Referee: Daniele Orsato (Italy)


Senegal and Mali both exited the Under-20 World Cup at the semi-finals stage on Wednesday, ending Africa's hopes of taking the title.

It was a crushing 5:0 defeat for Senegal in their match, which was virtually over after only seven minutes.

Andelinou Correa scored an own goal on five minutes and Senegal's disastrous start got worse just moments later when Marcos Guilherme finished off a sweeping move to make it 2:0.

Gabriel Jesus struck the post as Brazil continued to press, and in the 19th minute Boschilia tapped in after goalkepper Ibrahima Sy was unable to hold a cross.

Senegal's Sidy Sarrdid hit the bar soon after but they went 4:0 down when Jorge score a fine solo effort.

And just before the break Senegal's misery was compounded when Elimane Cisse was sent off for a second yellow card.

The fifth and final goal came on 78 minutes when Guilherme scored his second of the game.
