In a hard-fought match, Uruguay beat Gambia, one of the revelations of the U-20 World Cup in the group stage, 1-0. With a very nice goal from Anderson Duarte, the Charrúa team got into the top 8 of the competition and will be a rival of the United States, one of the best teams so far.
A meeting that was rather close and that appealed a lot to physical contact, had one expelled per side. In these conditions, La Celeste played smarter, found the way back to hurt the African team and managed to access the quarterfinals of the competition.
