Los Diablos Junior, with no chance of qualifying for the 2025 World Cup

After the hard loss 7 to 0 against India, the local team, in the debut of the competition, The Devils Jr. faced Switzerland in their second participation in this 2025 World Cup, they fell 3 to 2 and unfortunately said goodbye to the World Cup. The goals for the European team were scored by Jonathan Baumbach, Jens Flück and Mattia Ribaudo. For the trans-Andeans, Tomás Hasson and Felipe Duisberg discounted.

A match in which Chile started betterwith several dangerous attacks and some short corners, but which ended in the first offensive foray of the European team, thanks to Jonathan Baumbach (7′)with 1 to 0 in favor of Switzerland. The number 17 took advantage of the fact that the ball arrived slowly at the edge of the area in the short corners and received it close to the server to define with a strong hit to the legs of Nicolás Troncoso, who could not clear it and ended up putting it inside the goal to open the scoring.

A match in which unfortunately the Chilean Troncoso did not have his afternoon and was once again the direct protagonist with a weak response in a Swiss goal, this time from the captain Jens Flück (17′) who dragged and defeated the trans-Andean goalkeeper who was only 16 years old. Already in the third quarter and when the team was not much superior in the game, those led by Matías Amoroso scored their first goal in this World Cup event thanks to Tomás Hasson (37′).

With one minute remaining in the third quarter, Switzerland once again reached a two-goal lead: Mattia Ribaudo (44′) and 3 to 1 for the Europeans. When the game was over and there were only four minutes left in the game, Chile once again got within a goal difference thanks to the goal of Felipe Duisberg (56′)who this time was able to beat goalkeeper Timo Graf who had prevented him from scoring a goal in the first half. A goal that, unfortunately, was not enough to tie the game, so Chile fell 3 to 2 against Switzerland.

As it was the first time in history that the World Cup was held with 24 junior teams (until the last edition there were 16 participants in four groups of four, starting this year it was expanded to six pots of four), now all the first in each group and the two best seconds enter the knockout phase – quarterfinals. In this way and with the two defeats along with the large number of goals against, Chile was eliminated from the competition.

Substitutes: Simón Frenk, Javier Vargas, Lucas Luders, Tomás Taborga, Santiago Pizzarro, Juan Velasco Kouyoumdjian and Ignacio Fariña. DT: Matías Amoroso.
