Mateo Silvetti’s goal in the 74th minute and a vital red card that left the Colombians down late at Estadio Nacional de Santiago stadium were the main reasons for Argentina’s victory.

Argentina took the lead during a crucial part of the game when Gianluca Prestianni opened up space on the right and provided an assist that Silvetti hammered home from the center of the box.

Colombia attempted to equalize but was unable to penetrate the Argentine defense.

With the win, Morocco will play Argentina for the title on Monday, October 20. Argentina has won the competition a record six times and is making it to the final for the eighth time.

The Atlas Cubs, the third African nation after Ghana and Nigeria, achieved history by making it to their first final.
Following a nail-biting 1-1 draw that lasted 120 minutes at the Elías Figueroa Brande Stadium on Wednesday, they defeated France on penalties.
Morocco took the lead in the 32nd minute after French defender Lisandru Olmeta gave away a penalty kick that was converted by Yassir Zabiri.

Lucas Michal’s goal (59′) gave France the lead back in the second half, and despite multiple late opportunities for both teams, the game ended up tied in the end.

Morocco’s players, notably Younes El Bahraoui, Ilias Boumassaoudi, Yassir Zabiri, Mohamed Hamony, Saad El Haddad, and Byar, converted six of France’s five penalty kicks.
