Argentina thrash Nigeria and reach Under-20 World Cup quarter-finals | OneFootball

At the National Stadium Julio Martínez Pradanos, within the framework of the round of 16 of the U20 World Cup, the Argentine National Team thrashed the Nigerian National Team 4 to 0 thanks to a double from Maher Carrizo, plus goals from Alejo Sarco and Tomás Silvetti, thereby advancing to the quarterfinals, where they will face Mexico.

From the first minute of play, the team led by Diego Placente went out in search of controlling the game and quickly achieved the opening of the score through Sarco, who pushed it over the line after an assist from Dylan Gorosito.

Halfway through the first half, the Albiceleste increased the difference through Carrizo, who took charge of a free kick on the edge of the area and shot at goalkeeper Harcourt's post, who flew but could do nothing to prevent his goal from falling.

The bad news for the Argentine National Team was the injury to Álvaro Montoro. The offensive midfielder suffered a blow to the shoulder, so he had to be replaced in the first half and was attended to by the doctors in the locker room.

In the second half, the Albiceleste increased the lead. First, it was Maher Carrizo who finished well in the one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and then Silvetti closed the rout with a great left-footed goal after shaking off a mark.

The next commitment of the team led by Diego Placente will be next Saturday, October 11, starting at 20.00 hours Argentina time, against the Mexican National Team for the quarterfinals of the tournament.
