U-20 World Cup: It’s a win for USA and New Zealand

The USA defeated Ecuador 1-0 in the first match of Group B at the U-20 World Cup in Argentina on Saturday at the San Juan Stadium.

Jonathan Gomes (90+2) scored the winning goal for the USA in which the winning side had more of the ball, although the South Americans had a couple of opportunities to capitalize.

Already in stoppage time, the match-defining goal came when Gomes took delivery from the left, settled into the right corner of the area and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot that sank at a high angle, far from Kilmer’s hands. .

Next, Fiji and Slovakia will meet on the same stage, completing the first date of Group B.

How did New Zealand do?

New Zealand beat Guatemala 1-0 in their first match of Group A of the U-20 World Cup in Argentina at the Santiago del Estero Stadium on Saturday.

Norman Corbett (80) scored the only goal of the game, the first official goal of the Youth Championship.

In an even match, Guatemala had chances when a shot by Montano was saved by goalkeeper Kees Sims, and Archimedes Ardenez’s left-footed shot was blocked by the Oceanic goalkeeper.

However, New Zealand found the winner after goalkeeper Jorge Moreno was ruled out through injury, Finn Kanji’s long ball, Kayden failed to close in and Corbett finished with a left-footed touch before substitute Fausto Delgado’s desperate departure.
