Notes
[edit]- ^ Brazil had won the 2002 FIFA World Cup and 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship.[1]

Brazil, in contrast, were delighted: the victory completed a remarkable treble for the South American nation, whose senior team had won the World Cup a year earlier in Japan and South Korea, and whose Under 17s had beat Cesc Fabregas's Spain in their own world championship final a few months later.
