Uruguay beat Tunisia 1-0 with a penalty in the second minute of added time, which secured second place in Group E behind England, and leaving the African team, which with a petty approach went looking for the tie and secure a place among the best third, pending other results.
Uruguay started with a territorial dominance, having greater possession of the ball, trying to break the resistance of Tunisia, which started with a tactical drawing of 5 in the background, 4 in the middle and a born striker.
However, that positional dominance of the terrain allowed him to play closer to the goalkeeper Arfaqui, but without the necessary clarity to break his fence.
Abaldo was one of those who showed greater volume of play in the celestial team, Boselli projecting himself tried to break the fence, and some attempts of De los Santos that started with some overflows and then was blurred, but in general the whole Charrúa team lacked tranquility to define.
A timid Tunisia went looking for the equalizer, and barely passed half the court.
In the second half the different strategies did not vary in the first quarter of an hour, with the sky blue trying to break, and the Africans well buckled.
To make matters worse, one of the players with the best management in the Rio de la Plata national team, Abaldo, had to leave injured, and coach Broli delayed in making more changes that can change the face of his team.
And when the first additional minute was played (of the total of 9) after a center rained to the pot, the Tunisian captain Ouahabi, trying to clear his head, the ball hit him in his hand, and the Spanish referee charged penalty that Franco González changed for goal, giving him justice because, although without clarity, he was the only one who tried.
England first and intersects with Italy
England and Iraq equalized without goals in the closing of Group E of the Under-20 World Cup in La Plata, in a match of even procedure that consolidated the English as leaders (with 7 points), while the Iraqis were eliminated.
Iraq's youth team failed to take advantage of the "location". of the 12,122 spectators who showed themselves in their favor and against the selection that today wore red. Now England will meet Italy in the next phase.
In the ? Diego Maradona? England and Iraq played a discreet and even first half, with greater possession of the English cast, which reserved some of its starters, and with an Iraq that bet on the quick exit and the ability of its good number 10, Youssef Amyn.
Both had arrivals, in greater proportion those of the British team, but failed in the definition. At 32 England pressed the exit, Samuel Edozie faced the goal, eluded the goalkeeper and converted the goal, which was not validated by advanced position that had sanctioned the assistant and was ratified by the VAR.
The controversy came in the second minute of discount. A foul in the area to Edozie was warned by the VAR: the New Zealand referee reviews it and penalizes it. It was executed by Liam Delap with a powerful shot, low and crossed but the goalkeeper Hassan showed off by taking it to the corner.
The second period had greater intensity with Iraq that sought more decisively but was not effective. He had two clear situations with Amyn. The first at 15 with a powerful right shot that was deflected at 29 could not overcome the goalkeeper in a hand to hand.
The English also had their chances. The clearest a header from Devine at 24 that went high and already in the discount at the exit of a corner Oyegoke crashed his shot on the crossbar.
