Argentina qualified for the U-20 World Cup final for the first time since 2007, following a 1-0 victory over Colombia in the semifinals on Thursday.
The Tango team owed this victory to substitute Matteo Silvetti, who scored the decisive goal in the 77th minute with a precise shot from Gianluca Prestiani.
After falling behind, Colombia suffered another blow when Jhon Renteria was sent off for a second yellow card following a strong tackle on Argentine defender Dylan Gorosito. However, this did not change the outcome, and Argentina was able to maintain the lead until the end of the match.
Argentina has reached the U-20 World Cup final for the eighth time in its history and its first since 2007. It also holds the record for most world title wins, with six.
Argentina will meet Morocco in the final next Sunday, while Colombia will face France in the third-place match the day after tomorrow, Saturday.
Morocco qualified for the FIFA U-20 World Cup final for the first time in its history after defeating France 5-4 on penalties on Wednesday, following a 1-1 draw after regular and extra time.
