With Argentina 2-0 and Spain 1-2, two seats in the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship have been determined, and the suspense of the championship is beginning to emerge.

This U20 World Youth Championship ushered in a focus battle, with the powerful Argentinian youth team in South America facing off against the Mexican youth team. In the end, the Pampas Eagles did not give their opponents any chance, winning 2-0 to advance to the semi-finals and winning five consecutive games. At the same time, another game was a big upset. The European team Spain was in the lead and was chased by Colombia for two goals. It suffered a 2-3 reversal and missed the semi-finals. With the end of the two games, two of the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship have been decided. The last two semi-final places will be determined by the winner between the United States team and the Moroccan team; the Norwegian team and the French team.

The performance of the Argentina team in this World Youth Championship can be said to be overwhelming. They won all 3 games in the group stage, scoring 12 goals and conceding only 1. Their firepower is unmatched, and they are also domineering on the defensive end. In the 1/8 finals, they easily defeated the South Korean team, and now they have defeated Mexico cleanly. They have won 5 consecutive victories and averaged an offensive efficiency of more than 2 goals per game, making this season's Champions League appearance possible.

In this battle, facing Mexico, which is also good at technology, Argentina took the initiative from the beginning of the game. In the 9th minute, the opponent made a mistake with the ball in the backcourt. Argentine forward Carrizo alertly grabbed the ball and calmly pushed the ball into the penalty area and scored, Argentina 1-0. In less than 10 minutes, Argentina took the lead. This goal completely disrupted Mexico's tactical arrangement and made the opponent impatient. Mexico tried to find opportunities through speedy counterattacks, but faced with Argentina's quick defense and physical confrontation in the midfield, they were almost unable to complete effective penetration. In particular, Argentina's double midfielder combination has a strong interception ability, making every push by Mexico in the midfield difficult.

During this period, the Argentine coach also made a "shut-up move", which made the Mexican coach very angry and became a hot topic after the game.

Change sides and fight again. The game only started for 11 minutes, and Argentina won again. Silvetti, who came on as a substitute, forced a breakthrough on the right and used his excellent explosive power to get ahead of the defender and score a volley, helping Argentina expand the score to 2-0. Then the Mexican team fought back and counterattacked wildly but with little effect. In the end, they could only watch the Pampas Eagles advance to the top four.

After this campaign, the Argentine youth team won 5 consecutive victories, scored 14 goals, and still maintained a clean sheet in the knockout stage, demonstrating its dominance both offensively and defensively. From the perspective of overall tactics, this team's style continues Argentina's traditional technical football, but is more modern and efficient in rhythm and confrontation. The head coach makes proper adjustments and the players cooperate with each other tacitly. Once the rhythm of the game is entered, the opponent has almost no way to start.

Looking at the other side, the elimination of the Spanish youth team is undoubtedly a big upset. Facing the powerful Colombia, Spain played very smoothly in the first half and took a 2-1 lead with two exquisite coordinations. In the second half, Colombia continued to exert pressure and gave the Spanish "Mavericks" a desperate drama. They scored two goals in the 70th and 83rd minutes, and finally completed a 3-2 reversal, eliminating the Spanish team, one of the favorites to win the championship, and advancing to the top four.

So far, two South American teams have locked their seats in the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship in advance. Argentina and Colombia will meet directly in the semi-finals. This is the pinnacle showdown of the young generation of South American football. On one side is the favorite who has won five games and has excellent offense and defense, and on the other side is the dark horse who has just reversed Spain and is in high morale. From the perspective of paper strength, Argentina is slightly better, but Colombia's hard work and counterattack speed cannot be underestimated.
