The team led by Diego Placente set the tone from the first minute with a goal by Alejo Sarco, followed by a brace from Maher Carrizo and a goal by Mateo Silvetti, sealing an impeccable performance. Sarco opened the scoring in the 2nd minute, taking advantage of a rebound in the area to put the Albiceleste ahead. Carrizo extended the lead with a precise free kick in the 23rd minute and scored again in the 53rd, confirming his great moment in the tournament. Silvetti completed the rout in the 66th minute, in a match where the South Americans showed efficiency and total dominance. Nigeria, which eliminated Argentina in the previous edition of the World Cup, failed to respond to the offensive pressure and defensive solidity of the Argentinian team. With this victory, Argentina will face Mexico next Saturday, October 11th in Santiago, in a match for a place in the semi-finals. Match SheetChile 2025 U-20 World Cup – Round of 16
