U 20 Soccer Tournament



Colombia Is In The Semifinal



Colombian National Soccer Team continues to fight for the U-20 World Cup title, after beating New Zealand in the penalty shoot-out in the last 16.

 If it has to do with every player who lived this experience in the stadium, in Lodz we have a good Colombian fan celebrating this important triumph. Kevin Mier became involved in this campaign after his excellent performances in recent times.

The Kiwis started with more offensive intentions, but the ones that hit first were the Colombians. At minute 10, Iván Angulo charged a free kick that grazed Andrés Reyes just to send the ball to the back of the net.


The Tricolor, who wore blue, began to handle the ball and had a presence in the middle of the field, but with the passing of the time the New Zealand players began to attack the sector defended by Anderson Arroyo.

It was for that same place that the New Zealanders found the space for Stensness, without a mark, to send a creeping ball that Cacace only touched to celebrate the 1-1 draw.

The final score was 5-4, so Colombia is now in the quarters and will play against Ukraine tomorrow, June 7th. We wish them success.
