Team news & squadsAustria U17 team news
Austria marched into the U17 World Cup semifinals with a perfect six wins from six, outlasting Japan in a tense, nerve-jangling quarterfinal to book a blockbuster clash with Italy.
After an action-packed first half where both sides flirted with the opener, Austria finally cracked it early in the second period thanks to a brilliant curling strike from Johannes Moser, his sixth goal of a dazzling tournament. Hasan Deshishku nearly doubled the lead soon after, only to be denied by a spectacular stop from Shuji Muramatsu.
Japan refused to fade quietly. Substitute Minato Yoshida flashed a header just over the bar, while Hiroto Asada forced a sharp save from Austrian keeper Daniel Posch as the Samurai Blue pushed desperately for an equaliser.
Italy U17 team news
A late strike from Thomas Campaniello proved the knockout blow as Italy edged past a spirited Burkina Faso side to book their semifinal date with Austria.
The Stallions carved out the better early chances, with the lively Mohamed Zongo rattling the crossbar from distance before thundering another effort off the post after a sharp reaction save from Alessandro Longoni.
Italy rode out the storm and thought they’d broken through when Luca Reggiani tucked home from close range, only for the celebrations to be cut short by the offside flag. Burkina Faso weren’t as fortunate moments later. A misplaced goal-kick from Rahim Ouattara dropped straight to Campaniello, who sliced through two defenders and hammered in the winner to send the Azzurrini into the last four.
