South American arch-rivals Brazil and Argentina will battle it out for bragging rights and a semi-final spot when they meet in the quarter-finals of the 2023 FIFA Under-17 World Cup on Friday.
Brazil's title defense got off to a shaky start in a 3-2 defeat to Iran, but a 9-0 hammering of New Caledonia and a 2-1 win over England earned the 2019 champions a berth in the round of 16. The Selecao then beat Ecuador 3-1 with two goals coming from Estevao and one from Luighi.
On the other hand, Argentina, who secured the top spot in Group D, breezed through to the quarter-finals with a 5-0 victory over Venezuela, a result that was not in doubt after three goals in the first 32 minutes.

Team news & squads
Brazil team news
Brazil head coach Phelipe Leal has been very consistent with his starting XI throughout the tournament and is unlikely to make many changes for this knockout clash against Argentina.
Brazil have been in free-scoring form in front of goal, with Kaua Elias registering four goals to date and Ryan and Estevao scoring three each.
Estevao, 16, who has been dubbed "Messinho" after Argentina icon Lionel Messi thanks to his exceptional close control and dribbling skills, has particularly been the shining light and will need to be at his best if Brazil are to overcome Argentina in their bid for a place in the semi-finals.
Brazil predicted XI: Gabriel; Lima; Nunes, Cunha, Escerdinha; Sidney, Dudu; Estevao, Hanri, Rayan; Elias,
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Correa, Pedro Cobra, Gabriel |
