Iran Press/ Asia: Brazil beat Argentina 2-1 in the 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup final to lift the trophy in Uzbekistan.
The result brought Brazil their sixth world title in the 10 editions of the tournament, and first in 12 years after missing out on the final in both 2016 and 2021.
In a historic final, the first between two teams from South America, Ferrão (5'47") and Rafael (12'34") gave Brazil a 2-0 lead at half-time. Argentina ended a period of incessant pressure by pulling one back through Matías Rosa (38’00”). Brazil held on for a dramatic last two minutes to hand Argentina, the champions in 2016, a second successive final defeat and only their second loss in their last 21 FIFA Futsal World Cup matches.
In another match, the Ukrainian team managed to defeat France with a score of 7-1 and won the third title. 219
