FIFA U 20 World Championship - Argentina keep the title

Argentina 2 - 1 Czech Republik

[0-1 Martin Fenin 60' ; 1-1 Sergio Aguero 62' ; 2-1 Mauro Zarate 86']

After a first half without goals and few opportunities - Marek Suchy hit the post at minute nine - but full of cards (six yellow cards from 29 fouls) the Czechs threatened to win the title when at 60th minute Martin Fenin collected a ball, swivelled brilliantly at the edge of the box and fired a stunning goal inside the far post past Sergio Romero.

However the joy of this goal brought some desconcentration and two minutes after it was easily that Sergio Aguero, considered the best player of the tournment, finished a pass with a strike near the left post of Czech goal-keeper and scored the draw, after ducking into space between two Czech defenders.

Argentine, with more ball possession and high technical level, got the victory after a short corner backwards to allow the infiltration of Zarate that finished off to the first pole surprising the Czech goalkeeper.

With few minutes to play Argentina knew to hold the victory and got the 6th world championship at this category.
