Canchimbo, Villarreal, and Neymar show off their Colombian punch against South Africa before facing Spain in the U-20 World Cup quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
Colombia came out eager to quickly settle the match and face Spain in the quarterfinals. They got the first goal in just seven minutes, thanks to Canchimbo.<\/b> But the lead could have been greater with a bit of skill from Barrera, who missed a ball in front of goal to open the scoring, although he ended up doing so a few minutes later.<\/p>\n
With the initial advantage, the coffee growers controlled the first half, although the South Africans, led by a speedy April, timidly appeared in Jordan\u2019s area.<\/p>\n
The second half got off to an unexpected start. A slip by Jordan allowed Magidigidi to steal the ball, only for the Colombian goalkeeper to deny him. A penalty was awarded. The first shot was saved by Jordan, but it was retaken because the goalkeeper was out of position, and Vilakazi was unforgiving.<\/b> However, instead of letting the Colombians give way, they grew, and ten minutes later, Villarreal scored the winning goal.<\/p>\n
