Golazos Galore As Brazil Beat Italy 6-4 in FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Final

Brazil won the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup for the sixth time on Sunday.

The 2024 edition of the tournament was held in the United Arab Emirates and delivered 223 goals in total across 32 games.

Ten of those goals came in Sunday's final as Brazil beat Italy 6-4 in front of 3,458 fans in Dubai.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino was also among the crowd.

There were golazos galore in the final, including two superb overhead kicks - one from hat-trick hero Rodrigo and another by Brendo.

However, there was also an own goal thanks to a misplaced back-pass from Gianmarco Genovali, who netted twice at the correct end too.

Brazil won all six of their games at this year's Beach Soccer World Cup - although they needed extra-time to beat Portugal and Mexico during a competitive group stage.

The champions also defeated Oman, Japan and Iran en route to Sunday's final.

Meanwhile, Italy beat Belarus on penalties in the semi-finals, having earlier won against Tahiti, Egypt and the USA.

But Italy lost to the UAE in a penalty shootout during the group stage following the only 0-0 draw of the tournament.
