In the most recent round of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, Argentina will compete against Brazil in the quarterfinals.
As a result of advancing through the second round of the Under-17 World Cup in Indonesia, Argentina and Brazil, the reigning champions of the game, will face off in the quarterfinals. This comes after the teams from England and the United States were ousted from the competition. A day after Germany moved to the next round by defeating the United States by a score of 3-2, Uzbekistan defeated the 2017 winner England by a score of 2-1.
In the quarterfinal stage, Germany will begin their competition against Spain on Friday, followed by Argentina’s match against Brazil. Morocco and France will face off in the quarterfinals on Saturday. France will play Uzbekistan, and Mali will play Morocco. Although Brazil’s title defense got off to a shaky start with a setback to Iran by a score of 3-2, the 2019 champions were able to secure a spot in the round of 16 by submitting New Caledonia by a score of 9-0 and England by a score of 2-1.
After that, Brazil triumphed over Ecuador by a score of 3-1, with Estevao scoring two goals and Luighi scoring one. The result of Argentina’s 5-0 thrashing of Venezuela was a foregone conclusion after the first 32 minutes of the match saw three goals scored by Argentina.
After an own goal, Santiago Lopez and Claudio Echeverri hit the back of the net, and then Agustin Ruberto, who is currently in first place in the tournament’s scoring rankings with five goals, scored a double just before the final whistle. The defeat of England was precipitated by a spectacular free kick taken by Lazizbek Mirzaev, which came after Joel Ndala had cancelled out an early goal scored by Amirbek Saidov.
Uzbekistan will be gaining confidence in front of their knockout match against France, which defeated Senegal 5-3 in a shootout after the game ended 0-0. France’s victory will be a significant boost for Uzbekistan. A goal scored by Bilal Yalcinkaya in the final minute of the game earned Germany a 3-2 victory over the United States on Tuesday. Spain overcame Japan by a score of 2-1.
Gonzalo Segares, the coach of the United States, sought for the positives following the United States’ tight setback, which came after the team had won the group stage against Burkina Faso and South Korea. What he said was, “I am very proud.” There were a lot of people who didn’t think we were going to even come close to being competitive on the scoreboard (against Germany), and we shown that we are capable of competing against anyone.
After defeating Mexico, the two-time champion, by a score of 5-0, Mali is now in a position to face Morocco, which defeated Iran by a score of 4-1 on penalties after the game ended 1-1.
