Argentina see off Tunisia, reach Under-17 World Cup last 16 | OneFootball

The Argentina U-17 National Team dominated and secured another victory at the World Cup in Qatar. Diego Placente’s squad defeated Tunisia 1-0 in the second matchday of Group D, thanks to a goal from Facundo Jainikoski, thus clinching a spot in the round of 16 of the world tournament. Next Sunday, starting at 9:30, they will conclude their group stage participation against Fiji.

In the first half, the Albiceleste was the clear dominant side, creating several dangerous chances, but Slim Bouaskar, the African team’s goalkeeper, grew ever more formidable as the minutes went by. Even the top scorer Thomas De Martis produced an excellent finish, attempting a chip, but the post denied him the goal.

In the second half, the long-awaited goal finally arrived. In the 21st minute, Jainikoski opened the scoring after a great individual play that started from midfield following a good pass from De Martis, and finished with a powerful low shot across goal to find the back of the net.
