Generation adidas Cup Champions Have Been Crowned

U15 Final: Valencia CF Vs Seattle Sounders
Valencia CF put on an offensive masterclass, dismantling Seattle Sounders 5–0 in one of the most one-sided performances of the tournament so far.

The Spanish side wasted no time asserting control. Ricardo Pérez Ruiz (#11) opened the scoring in the 16th minute, setting the tone early. Just 14 minutes later, Iker Albero Ruiz (#7) doubled the lead with a composed finish in the 30th minute.

Valencia’s momentum continued into the latter stages of the first half, where Alfonso Calderón Trillo-Figueroa (#10) struck in the 41st minute to make it 3–0 heading into halftime.

If there were any hopes of a Seattle comeback, they were quickly erased after the break. Calderón added his second goal of the match in the 64th minute, showcasing his clinical finishing and positioning.

The scoring was capped off in the 70th minute by Ángel Rodríguez Palao, putting the finishing touch on a dominant five-goal display.

U16 Final: Red Bull Bragantino Vs FC Copenhagen
In contrast, Red Bull Bragantino secured a narrow 1–0 victory over FC Copenhagen in a physical and tactical contest.

The match remained tightly balanced for much of the game, with both sides making multiple adjustments through substitutions around halftime and the hour mark. Discipline became a factor, as several players from both teams received yellow cards for unsporting behavior.

The decisive moment came in the 57th minute when Hugo Miller Alves Vieira Chagas (#7) found the back of the net, breaking the deadlock and giving Bragantino the lead.

Copenhagen pushed for an equalizer, rotating players and attempting to regain control, but Bragantino’s defense held firm through the closing stages.

Tensions rose late in the match, highlighted by a yellow card to Joebis Ferreira Pereira (#6) in the 72nd minute, but Bragantino managed the game effectively to secure all three points.
