A semi-final of the World Youth Championship started, Argentina U20 faced Colombia U20. Argentina's performance in this World Youth Championship is very strong. In the group stage, Argentina first defeated Cuba 3-1, then beat Australia 4-1, and then narrowly defeated Italy 1-0. Three consecutive wins in the group stage allowed Argentina to easily advance to the knockout rounds. In the 1/8 finals, Argentina swept Nigeria 4-0. In the quarter-finals, Argentina defeated Mexico 2-0. This time in the crucial semi-finals, Argentina defeated Colombia and reached the final!

Argentina deployed a 541 formation in this game. Salko is at the front. The four midfielders of Suviavre, Valentillo Acuña, Milton Delgado and Prestiani attack together. The five defenders of Gorosito, Ramirez, Tomas Perez, Villalba and Soler started the game. Balbi serves as the starting goalkeeper. Argentina's starting lineup is worth a total of 23.5 million euros. The total value of Colombia's starting lineup is only 5.95 million euros.

Shortly after the opening, Colombia created good opportunities. Kasimbo headed the ball in front of the goal, but it was blocked. Kasimbo was later injured and was substituted. Both sides had some chances that they failed to take. At halftime, the score was still 0-0! In the second half, Argentina took the lead in making substitutions, replacing Silveti and Andrada. This substitution played a decisive role.

In the 72nd minute, substitute talisman Silveti received a pass from Prestiani in the penalty area and scored with a shot, a fatal blow! Renteria then fouled, two yellows turned into one red and was sent off. Colombia adds insult to injury. In the end, Argentina U20 defeated Colombia U20 1-0 and reached the final!

In this game, Argentina had a ball possession rate of 46%, took 14 shots, 5 were on target, and scored 1 goal. Colombia had 12 shots, 4 of which were on target, but failed to score. Silveti was undoubtedly the best player in the game. He only played 47 minutes as a substitute and had 5 shooting opportunities. He scored the only goal of the game and became Argentina's biggest contributor. Winning this game means that Argentina has advanced to the finals with a 6-game winning streak and will compete with the dark horse Morocco for the World Youth Championship!
