Javier Mascherano’s team He no longer has a margin for error and neither does he depend on himself to advance to the final hexagonal of the tournament that qualifies for the World Cup in Indonesia and the Pan American Games in Santiago.
That is why the Argentine under 20 team will face Peru today, already eliminated, with the obligation to win to continue with the chances of qualifying for the South American hexagonal that is played in Colombia.
The match corresponding to the fourth date of group A It will be played from 7:00 p.m. (TyC Sports) at the Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium in Cali.
The defeats once morest Paraguay (2-1) in the debut and in the classic once morest Brazil (3-1) left the youth team in a compromised situation. The team has to beat Peru, who lost all three games and was eliminated, and hope that Brazil, already classified, does not lose to Colombia.
In this case, the Albiceleste would play a direct duel once morest Colombia next Friday for the third place in the classification.
The other point to take into account is that if Federico Gomes Gerth, Máximo Perrone, Lautaro Di Lollo, Alejo Veliz and Valentín Gómez are booked once more, they will miss next Friday’s game at 9:30 p.m. once morest the locals for the last date.
To this is added that Mascherano suffered two important casualties due to injury first with Facundo Buonanotte following a heavy blow once morest Paraguay and then with Agustín Giay, who was replaced once morest Brazil with a severe ankle sprain.
The Argentine national team is the maximum historic winner of the Under 20 World Cups with six trophies. However, since the last conquest in Canada 2007, it has already been left out of two editions: Egypt 2009 and Turkey 2013.
In the 2009 South American he was eliminated following finishing last in the hexagonal, while in 2013 he was left out in the first phase, hosting the tournament.
Peru was left without chances of qualifying following the defeats once morest Brazil (3-0), Colombia (2-1) and Paraguay (1-0) and will say goodbye to the tournament since it will remain on the last date.
