Argentina Finish In Style

By Gordon Fleetwood, writing from New York City

South American U20 Championships: Day 7

It was a revamped Argentina side who took on Chile in Arequipa. The pouring rain dampened the game as a spectacle, but four goals in the second half gave the drenched fans something to enjoy. Argentina ran out 3-1 winners, and officially booked their ticket in the next round.

Chile had the edge in a first half short of many chances, but it was Argentina who had perhaps the best chance to go ahead. A late corner found Juan Iturbe rushing in. However, His side-footed strike flew narrowly past the post. The rain-drenched pitch did not seem to bode well for an improved second half.
