[En vivo] Brazil and Uruguay duel for the South American U-20 title

A draw against Brazil is enough for Uruguay to be crowned champion of the South American U-20 this Sunday, thus taking advantage of first place in the standings, with two points ahead of Canarinha (10).

La Celeste reaches the final date with a perfect score and will have to manage the juice against a team that is bound to win. The game will be played from 6:30 p.m. at the El Campín stadium in Bogotá.

“There is nothing left. The title remains and we are going to look for it. We are going to return to Montevideo empty, hopefully it catches up with us, ”said the Uruguayan coach, Marcelo Broli, in his most recent statement to the press.

After three weeks playing matches every two or three days, the juniors feel the rigors of “a very tough competition in which they don’t really have recovery time,” explained Brazil coach Ramon Menezes, who leads the South American giant return to the World Cup after being absent in the 2017 and 2019 editions.

Uruguay, for its part, achieved its eighth consecutive qualification to a U-20 World Cup, which it has attended without fail since Canada-2007. (D)
