The Argentina Under-20 National Team is preparing to play the final match of the Final Hexagonal of the Under-20 South American Championship with the chance to become champions. The team led by Diego Placente has already secured its spot in the World Cup of this category, but needs at least one win against Brazil to ensure the title ahead of time.
Against Paraguay in the last match, the Argentina National Team has the opportunity to reach the championship. The goal difference plays an important role in case of a tie on points. Brazil, their main rival in the standings, will also play their last match against Chile, and knowing the result of this game will influence the Albiceleste's chances.
To be crowned champions of the Under-20 South American Championship, Argentina must consider different combinations of results. Winning against Paraguay and hoping Brazil does not win against Chile is one option. Additionally, a draw with Paraguay accompanied by a Brazilian defeat could favor Argentina. In the case of victories for both, the Albiceleste must score two more goals than the Scratch.
The tiebreaker is carried out considering the result of the direct confrontation between the teams that are tied on points. Thus, in the last round, Argentina and Brazil arrive with 10 points each, with Brazil leading due to their better goal difference. The Verdeamarela has +4 (6-2) compared to +3 (8-5) of the Albiceleste.
In the words of Diego Placente: "We know that we have the chance to be champions, but we cannot let our guard down. We are going to seek victory against Paraguay and then we will keep an eye on Brazil's result. We have confidence in our team and will give our all on the field to achieve the goal."
