Colombia fell in the semis with Argentina and will play for third place in the U20 World Cup

The first defeat of Colombia left her without end Chile Under 20 World Cup 2025. They lost 1-0 with Argentina due to their bad second half at the National Stadium in Santiago.

From the start the team understood the magnitude of the game. He entered firmly, concentrated and prevented his rival from maintaining his tendency to score before 10 minutes of play.. He played with short blocks, looking for Oscar Perea’s speed for good crosses, although without definition in the area.

The clearest option in the first half was with one of his shots connected with a header by Joel Canchimbo without power at the far post. The winger, winner of his duels for power, was injured in the 36th minute.

That solidity gave way in the second half with the double nine that Argentina put up. With long football he got out of that pressure and generated two wasted opportunities by Emilio Aristizábal.

The National Team fell back due to the albiceleste push. He slowed down, left spaces in the middle without support from the midfielders, the center backs out of the zone and allowed Mateo Silvettia to make it 1-0 in the 72nd minute. Punishment announced for passivity in duels.

In the last 10 minutes, Renteria was sent off, important with passes into space. His closing of the engagement was lackluster. It was entrusted to isolated attempts with a still ball.

Colombia still has a podium option. Their last match will be on October 18 for third place against France.
