Adolfo Gaich may not have scored in the 2-1 win vs. Colombia but he was one of Argentina’s best players throughout the entire tournament.

Gaich had a break through 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup and even played a match for the senior Argentina national team. With the U23 team, Gaich scored, assisted and did everything to help the team qualify for the Olympics. Here’s what he had to say following the win:

“It’s amazing what this team has achieved. We have won every match so far. The first half was complicated but we were able to keep the score at zero. And after that, we took advantage of the chances we had. We are justifiably champions.”

Argentina captain Nehuen Perez scored and helped lead his team to the 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo.

Author of the second goal, Perez was one of the stand out players of the tournament for his team. Here’s what he had to say after the win:

“We are very happy for the result, for winning the championship. We came here having worked a lot and it showed that the team is very much united. We knew it would be a very difficult match, the anxiety played against us in the first half. We came out more calm in the second half.

“The team has a lot of humility and companionship which was seen on the pitch.”

Argentina have qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games and have also won the tournament with a match left to play.

Agustin Urzi and Nehuen Perez were the two goal scorers for Argentina in their 2-1 win vs. Colombia. It wasn’t the easiest of matches and they held on for dear life at the end but Fernando Batista’s team did it.

Urzi opened the scoring early in the second half with one of the goals of the tournament. A lovely left footed strike from outside of the penalty area was hoofted over the goalkeeper and into the goal to give Argentina the 1-0 lead. However, Urzi would later get himself red carded.

Nehuen Perez would make it 2-0 shortly just minutes later. A corner kick for Argentina as a cross was sent into the area and Perez with a bullet of a header doubled Argentina’s lead.

This is the first time since 2004 that Argentina have won the pre-Olympic tournament. The first time was in 1960 held in Peru, second time in 1964 also held in Peru, third in 1980 in Colombia.

Argentina will look for a win vs. Colombia which would secure them an Olympic spot.

Following a 3-2 win vs. Uruguay, Fernando Batista’s team will look to make it another win which would give them one of the two spots for Tokyo this summer. It was Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister which scored two goals in the last game with Fausto Vera scoring the other goal.

The team’s final match would be vs. Brazil which could be the championship match.
