Argentina’s U20 team continues its perfect run at the World Cup. With goals from Maher Carrizo and Mateo Silvetti, the Albiceleste defeated Mexico 2–0 in the quarterfinals, advancing to the semifinals for the first time since 2007.
Maher Carrizo opened the scoring for Argentina after pouncing on a rebound from the Mexican goalkeeper. Later in the match, substitute Mateo Silvetti, who came on for Sarco in the second half, used his strength to win the ball and fired a powerful shot to make it 2–0 for Argentina.
Under the guidance of Diego Placente, the team once again impressed with its dynamic play and collective strength—hallmarks of their campaign so far. Argentina have now recorded five consecutive victories, ensuring they’ll play all seven matches of the tournament.
Their next challenge will come on Wednesday, when they face Colombia, who beat Spain 3–2 earlier on Saturday.
