Uruguay (Washington Insider Magazine) – With the title, Uruguay makes its debut among the U-20 World Cup champions, joining Spain, France, Serbia, England, Ukraine and the extinct Soviet Union, Federal Republic of Germany and Yugoslavia as the teams with at least one U-20 World Cup.
The Uruguayan team was crowned this Sunday as the new champion of the U-20 World Cup against its counterpart in Italy by winning 1-0 at the Estadio Único Diego Armando Maradona in Argentina.
A solitary goal by Luciano Rodríguez four minutes from the end of the match declared the victory of La Celeste with which they won their first title in the category after two unsuccessful attempts in the past.
After losing in the last game in Malaysia 1997 and in Turkey 2013, Celeste won a game in which they dominated from start to finish and kept the title before more than 30,000 compatriots who came from their native Uruguay, arriving by boat, plane and even by car.
With an absolute dominance throughout the game that had not been transferred to the scoreboard, Uruguay found itself again and again with misfortune facing the goal or with the rival goalkeeper.
However, with four minutes to go, glory came for the Charrúas through Rodríguez himself, who pushed the ball into the back of the net after a confusing play to explode those led by Marcelo Broli with joy.
In this way, Uruguay became the third American team to win this World Cup and added the twelfth title for the region, remaining behind Argentina (6) and Brazil (5) as the top winners of the continental contest.
