Academy goalkeeper, Álvaro Fernández played his third Under-17s World Cup India match, securing a comfortable win against North Korea.

Santi Denia’s U-17 squad faced their last match today in the first stage of Group D of the World Cup competition of this category. Spain defeated North Korea (2-0) with goals from Moha (4’) and César Gelabert (71’).
