Estonia U21 make history in Brazil: mission accomplished
Yes, it’s official: mission accomplished.
In the tropical heat of the Fenda do Biquini, under scattered clouds and in front of 59,999 Brazilian fans, our Estonia U21 delivered one of the most important performances in its Sokker history.
The match: courage, discipline, and personality
The scenario was clear before kick-off: Sweden’s defeat had already guaranteed our qualification for the U21 World Cup, but a win in Brazil would have meant first place in the group, ahead of the mighty hosts.
Brazil started with their usual dominance, but Estonia stood tall.
51% possession for Estonia, more shots (8 vs 4), and a calm, mature approach against one of the strongest U21 teams in the game.
The turning point came in the 24th minute:
Leme went in brutally, stamped on an Estonian leg and received a straight red card. Brazil were down to ten men, and from that moment on, the match changed.
Estonia absorbed the pressure, created chances with Ameli, and went into halftime at 0–0, earning applause from a stadium that had learned to respect the visitors.
Second half: blow for blow
In the 48th minute, Brazil struck first. Nonato finished a fast move, Ülem nearly saved it, but it was 1–0.
Estonia’s reaction was immediate and fearless.
In the 55th minute, after a chaotic sequence in the box, Sungisepp unleashed a thunderous shot into the net.
1–1. Silence in the stands, belief on the Estonian bench.
The final phase was intense:
Rätsepp missed the target by centimeters
Sungisepp and Männimets forced two excellent saves from Fonseca
Brazil were relieved to hear the final whistle
Final result
Brazil U21 – Estonia U21 1:1
Not first in the group, but qualified for the U21 World Cup.
After a demanding group with ups and downs, Estonia delivered when it mattered most.

A message from your national coach
Dear voters,
This team has:
secured qualification for the U21 World Cup
held Brazil U21 to a draw on their own ground
proven that Estonia is no longer just a “nice surprise”, but a serious competitor
The facts are simple:
We reached the World Cup
We earned international respect
We are moving in the right direction
If you believe in an Estonia that plays with courage, discipline, and ambition,
if you want to keep hearing the Estonian anthem at World Cups,
Vote for continuity. Re-elect the national coach.
Because anyone who delivers World Cup qualification
deserves to continue the job.
Yes, it’s official: mission accomplished.

Nice job, the dream scenario became true, Cyprus hold Sweden back and a draw with a taste of win against Brazil, very nice job and you see believe more in yourself. Very nice performance with a solid defence and definitely a haunting 5-2-3 or 5-3-2 against brazil worked out ;))
A series of very long injuries to two great 20-year-old talents. Truly unlucky.
