Brazil win World Youth Championship

Brazil have won the World Youth Championship in the United Arab Emirates this evening.

Brazil beat Spain 1-0, scoring through Fernandinho in the 87th minute.

The Spanish were reduced to 10 men when they lost their captain Melli after just four minutes for a professional foul.

Spain held on bravely and even had a goal disallowed but their defence was finally breached through Fernandinho's header.

Fernandinho himself was sent off in injury time but it was too late for Spain.

This is Brazil's fourth victory in the competition.
