13th WUC Futsal – Day 2 of Competitions

BRAGA – It was an exciting day in the championship, as seven matches took place yesterday, August 19^th.

In the men’s tournament, Poland overcame Israel by scoring in the last two minutes of the match, for a final result of 2-1. 

Ukraine and Thailand came to the same final score, with Ukraine making the winning goal at only one minute to the end. 

Unlike these two matches, Russia and the Czech Republic’s match seemed to be resolved very early on – the 4 goals that Russia had scored by half time only grew into a 6-0 before the final whistle. 

The second half of the match between Kazakhstan and Spain began with the expulsion of the Kazakh goal keeper, who, due to lack of a substitute, left behind an open goal, leading to a final score of 6-2 for Spain. 

Finally, Brazil beat Oman in a fast-paced match that ended in 3-1. 

In the womens’ tournament, Russia faced Brazil and lost 4 to nothing. Brazil scored their first goal within three minutes of kick-off. 

The biggest scorers of the day, however, were the Portuguese women’s team, who beat France with a score of 11-0.
