However, Lazaro Vinicius Marques scored in the during the 93th extra minute for Brazil to seal the victory for his team.
By this victory, Brazil have won the U-17 World Cup crown for three times in record history.
The rivalry between Brazil and Mexico has intensified in the last 20 years, with the two countries contesting finals at three major tournaments in that time, including the FIFA U-17 World Cup Peru 2005.
All three of those finals went the way of the Mexicans, a statistic that provides an interesting backdrop to Sunday’s Brazil 2019 showpiece in Brasilia.
Mexico won the first of their two world titles in the age group at Peru 2005, beating the Brazilian 3-0 in the final at the Estadio Nacional in Lima, with their goals coming from Carlos Vela, Omar Esparza and Ever Guzman.
