Argentina and Colombia faced off in the second matchday of the South American U-20 Championship, with a game that ended in a 1-1 draw. Although both teams tried to change the pace of the game, clear opportunities were scarce, leaving a tied score at the Polideportivo Misael Delgado and keeping the battle for qualification open.
In a match where both teams showed balanced play, Argentina came close to scoring with a shot from Mastantuono that missed the intended target. On the other hand, Argentine goalkeeper Lucas Barbi excelled with key interventions that prevented Colombia from taking the victory.
In the first half, Colombia took the lead with a goal from Óscar Perea in the 33rd minute, but three minutes later, Claudio Echeverri equalized for Argentina after a cross from Andino. With this goal, Echeverri became the tournament's top scorer so far.
After the equalizer, the match became more balanced and lacking in offensive depth, leading to the end of the game with the score tied. Now, Argentina is preparing to face Bolivia, while Colombia will seek its first victory against Ecuador in its next match of the championship.
