Uruguay is celebrating since, for the first time in its history, it managed to be crowned champion of the U-20 World Cup. The ‘charrúa’ team beat Italy 1-0, with a goal from Luciano Rodríguez. La Celeste showed grit and a great defensive level.
From Boselli to Fabrizio Díaz through Matturro or the striker Rodríguez. Huge potential to be part of the elite and extend the legacy globally, Marcelo Bielsa will have a great task to change the generation, but this U-20 World Cup shows the way.
Each Uruguayan player played the final as if they already had more years of experience and peace of mind. The Italian goalkeeper was also decisive in keeping the game alive.
Full of intensity, Uruguay overwhelmed Italy, who tried to slow down at all costs, but could not be effective. When extra time was almost a given, a shot from Uruguay forced a corner kick that Luciano Rodríguez took advantage of to beat Desplanches. Total party in Argentina. The marker didn’t move anymore. Champions of the U-20 World Cup and a great future for ‘La Celeste’.
