The P17 side concluded the tournament with a scoreless 0-0 draw against Belgium. Alexander Johansson once again featured in the starting lineup, this time wearing the captain’s armband. Elton Otto also saw action, stepping in after the halftime break to shut out the Belgian attack through the final whistle.
