The kids started by beating New Zealand

Draft.- Venezuela is not what it is now. A team with far fewer resources in South America doesn’t have to pay much attention and everything costs a little more.

For some time now, in all its forms, its rise has been pronounced at an accelerated rate. The trend was recognized in Vinodindo’s debut at the Indonesia 2023 Under-17 World Cup.

The team led by Ricardo Valino beat New Zealand 3-0. With this, Germany are top of Group F and second after beating Mexico 3-1.

The win gave Venezuela its first win. The first goal of the game was scored by David Martinez, who capitalized on an unguarded clearance from the goalkeeper and slotted the ball into the empty net from several meters out.

The second was a nice combination play finished by Leanne Romero. At 3-0, the same player scored with a left-footed shot.

Despite the success, Vinodinto needs to focus on the future. David Martinez, his best figure, is out with a muscle problem, as is Giovani Seguera. The next game is against Mexico on November 15 at 4pm (local time).
