Brazil celebrates and leaves Argentina seriously injured in the South American sub-20

Brazil defeated Argentina 3-1 this Monday in the South American Under-20 Cup, complicating the path of the Albiceleste in the tournament they are playing in Colombia and giving a hand to Paraguay, which thus sealed their pass to the final hexagonal after beating Peru earlier 1-0.

Guilherme Biro (8) and Andrey (36) took advantage of errors in the Argentine defensive block to give Canarinha an advantage in the first part of the match, valid for the third round of Group A.

The star Vitor Roque sentenced the story from the penalty spot (87) after another turnover of the Albiceleste, who had a night to forget at the Pascual Guerrero Stadium in Cali (southwest) and still hasn’t scored after two games.

Maximiliano González scored the Argentine honor goal at minute 90.

Brazil goalkeeper Mycael saved a penalty with an acrobatic kick when the game was 1-0, making amends for his own mistake in a rough start that ended in a foul.

Brazil has a perfect score after two games and is at the gates of the final round, where four tickets to the World Cup in Indonesia-2023 will be at stake. Group A is led by the already classified Paraguay with 7 units and one more game.

The Guarani defeated Peru 1-0 in the first round and enrolled in the next round after the Argentine defeat.

The team led by ‘the little boss’ Javier Mascherano sank in the Group A table, only ahead of Peru, already eliminated, both without points.

Colombia, which has 4 units in two games, is in third place.

Argentina is forced to win in their games on Wednesday against Peru and on Friday against Colombia. The duel against the hosts is shaping up to be a one-on-one for the pass to the decisive round, which also awards three places to the Pan American Games in Santiago-2023

The reaction of the albiceleste was about to bear fruit on the 24th, when Julián Fernández entered the area and dribbled the goalkeeper Mycael, who brought down the attacker in his hasty exit.

But the Athletico Parnaense goalkeeper immediately vindicated himself and saved Gino Infantino’s penalty with an acrobatic kick.

Once again, this time in the Argentine midfield, he put the ball at the feet of Brazilian attacker Andrey, who headed towards the goal at full speed and scored the second with a low cross shot.

Those led by Javier Mascheron sank in the Group A table without points in the same number of games.

Colombia, which has 4 units in two matches, temporarily completes the list of three qualified for the final hexagonal, which delivers four slots to the world championship of the category. (D)
