Game review and photos.
Brazil's "next generation" was chasing a sixth U20 title. Before the match, influential Brazil midfielder Gabriel Boschilia said the players were "trying to restore the image of Brazilian football" after the senior team's 7-1 loss at home against Germany in last year's World Cup semifinals.
But Serbia’s 2-1 win over Brazil gives them first title as u-20 World Cup winners. It was tough game, with extra time… Anyway, watch it!
Brazil entered the final having gone 502 minutes without conceding a goal but that ended 70 minutes into the final when Stanisa Mandic swept home Maskimovic's cross at the far post to give Serbia the lead.
Brazil equalised within two minutes as Andreas Pereira weaved past defenders before curling in a shot for a superb goal, but the favourites could not find a second throughout the remainder of the 90 minutes and then extra time as Rajkovic stood tall in goal.
The match seemed headed for a penalty shootout when Serbia counterattacked in the 117th minute and Stefan Ilic combined with Andrija Zivkovic to put Maksimovic in behind the defence and he calmly slotted his low shot past goalkeeper Jean.
The victory, and Serbia's first title as an independent nation, owed much to goalkeeper and captain Pedrag Rajkovic, who pulled off a series of saves to repeatedly deny Brazil the victory.
