Surprisingly defeating Argentina, Morocco won the 2025 U20 World Cup

(Dan Tri) - Defeating Argentina 2-0 in the final match, U20 Morocco won the 2025 U20 World Cup. This is the first time a young team from Africa has achieved this achievement.

Before the ball rolled in Santiago (Chile) this morning (October 20, Vietnam time), U20 Argentina was rated higher, thanks to their very good performance in previous U20 World Cups (6 championships). They currently hold the record for most championships.

However, it is worth noting that from 2007 until now, after the generation of Messi and Aguero, the young team of the tango country has never returned to the pinnacle of glory.

Meanwhile, U20 Morocco played with great desire in the final match. The African team opened the scoring early in the 12th minute, after a goal by Yassir Zabiri.

After conceding the goal, U20 Argentina pushed up their attack, determined to find an equalizer. But before U20 Argentina could find the net, they continued to concede a second goal.

In the 29th minute, in a very quick attack, Yassir Zabiri successfully finished for the second time in the match, scoring the winning goal 2-0 for U20 Morocco.

This victory brought U20 Morocco to the title of world youth tournament. This is the first time Moroccan youth football has achieved this achievement.

In the third-place match held just before the final, also in Santiago, U20 Colombia beat U20 France 1-0.

This was also a not-so-successful tournament for Asian football. No Asian representative reached the quarter-finals. The U20 Japan and U20 Korea teams were both eliminated after the round of 16.
