U17 World Cup final: England vs Spain - La Rojita set up mouth-watering clash with Young Lions

England will take on Spain in the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017 at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on October 28.

England efficiently dispatched Brazil 3-1 after a hat-trick effort from Rhian Brewster in Kolkata earlier today to book their berth in the final. Abel Ruiz's brace ensured a 3-1 win for Spain over Mali in the second semi-final in Mumbai.

The fixture will be a rematch of this year's European U-17 Championship where in Spain triumphed on penalties against a heartbroken England.

The leading goalscorer of the U17 World Cup Rhian Brewster (7 goals) had missed a penalty in the final held in Croatia on May 19.
