Argentina’s potential opponents in the Under-20 World Cup last 16 | OneFootball

The Argentine National Team had secured their qualification to the round of 16 of the U-20 World Cup after thrashing Australia 4-1 in Valparaíso, and this Saturday, the team led by Diego Placente sealed their passage to the next stage as group leaders by defeating Italy 1-0 with a stunning goal from Dylan Gorosito. In light of this, in the next stage the Albiceleste will face one of the best third-placed teams from groups B, E or F.

Given this scenario, as of now, the team leading the race to face the national team is South Korea, which has four points in group B, just like Paraguay, which has a better goal difference.

South Africa from group E, and Nigeria from group F are the other possible opponents. The said match would take place on Wednesday, October 8 at 16:30 at the Julio Martínez Prádanos, home of U de Chile.

Another point to consider is that in group E, the South Africans have three points, the same as France, which, although it has a worse difference, is better positioned due to the direct duel against the Africans, as the French team triumphed 2-1.

It seems difficult, but in the event that South Africa beats the United States (1st) and that the French do not do so against New Caledonia (13 goals against), a could occur.
