Despite being reduced to 10 men early in the game, Ghana held to win against the South American heavyweights on penalties.
“Ganso, Giuliano, Douglas Costa & Co were favourites to win Brazil a 5th #U20WC crown #OnThisDay in 2009,” FIFA tweeted.
“Despite playing much of the game at a numerical disadvantage, however, @AyewAndre, Dominic Adiyiah & team-mates won on penalties to crown Ghana for the 1st time.”
Ghana remains the only African side to have ever won the U-20 FIFA World Cup to date.
