U20 Colombia is showing itself as a strong candidate to win the U20 World Cup title this year. The team from South America is unbeaten in this tournament with 3 wins and 1 draw. In all competitions, U20 Colombia has a record of 9 matches without defeat.
In the group stage, U20 Colombia beat U20 Senegal and U20 Israel with the same score, 2-1. In the last match, they drew with U20 Japan and took the top position of Group C with 7 points from 4 matches.
In the round of 16, U20 Colombia showed an absolute advantage by crushing U20 Slovakia 5-1. The result led to the South American side recording their fifth qualification to the quarter-finals of the Under-20 World Cup.
Oscar Cortes scored two goals to take his tally to four and is ranked second in the tournament’s top scorers list. U20 Colombia is the second team from CONMEBOL to qualify for this round.
In the quarter-finals, U20 Colombia will face a real challenge from U20 Italy. However, with impressive performances since the start of the tournament, Hector Cardenas’s men were completely able to defeat their opponents and advance to the semifinals.
On the other hand, U20 Italy almost got out of the group stage after losing to U20 Nigeria. In the final game, Italy U20s finished second in their group with 6 points, equal to Nigerian U20s but qualified thanks to better goal difference (Italy U20s have +2 goal difference, Nigeria U20s +1 goal difference).
In the round of 16, Italy’s U20s also had to fight hard to qualify with a narrow 2-1 win over England’s U20s. The team’s star – Cesare Casadei – scored the penalty in the 87th minute that put the Azzuri into the quarter-finals.
U20 Italy is predicted to have big difficulties against U20 Colombia. Their opponents have a similar playing style to the Nigerian U20s – the team that beat them in the group stages. In the past, U20 Italy also lost to U20 Colombia with a score of 0-2 in 2005. It is very likely that U20 Italy will be eliminated in the quarter-finals by U20 Colombia.
