Morocco surprisingly defeated Argentina to win the 2025 U20 World Cup.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - By defeating Argentina 2-0 in the final, Morocco U20 won the 2025 U20 World Cup. This is the first time the young team from Africa has achieved this feat.

Before kick-off in Santiago (Chile) this morning (October 20th, Vietnam time), the Argentina U20 team was considered the favorite, thanks to their excellent performance in previous U20 World Cups (6 titles). They hold the record for the most titles.

However, it is noteworthy that since 2007, after the generation of Messi and Aguero, the young Argentine team has never returned to its former glory.

Meanwhile, the Moroccan U20 team played with great determination in the final. The African team took an early lead in the 12th minute, thanks to a goal from Yassir Zabiri.

After conceding a goal, the Argentina U20 team pushed forward in attack, determined to find an equalizer. But before they could find the back of the net, they conceded a second goal.

In the 29th minute, during a very quick counter-attack, Yassir Zabiri scored his second goal of the match, sealing a 2-0 victory for Morocco U20.

This victory crowned Morocco's U20 team as world youth champions. This marks the first time Moroccan youth football has achieved this feat.

In the third-place match, which took place just before the final, also in Santiago, the Colombian U20 team defeated the French U20 team 1-0.

This was also a rather unsuccessful tournament for Asian football. No Asian representatives reached the quarter-finals. Both the Japan U20 and South Korea U20 teams were eliminated after the round of 16.
