Alejo Sarco scored twice for the Argentina U20 national team in their 3-1 win against Cuba at the U20 World Cup.
Sarco had both goals for Diego Placente’s team in their 2-1 win at their first match in Chile. Three minutes into the match, Santino Andino would play a pass to Maher Carrizo on the wing and Carrizo would dribble inside the penalty area, play a low cross in to Alejo Sarco and Sarco would score from close range to give Argentina the 1-0 lead.
With Argentina leading 1-0, Santiago Fernández would go for the ball inside the penalty area and would foul Raballo of Cuba. The referee would give Santiago Fernández a red card and award Cuba a penalty kick.
Diego Placente would use a green card, to challenge VAR to reverse the decision. Santiago Fernández would get the red card but no penalty kick was given.
