Colombia overwhelms European representative at U20 World Cup

Early morning of June 1, U20 Colombia beat Slovakia 5-1 in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

After a first half full of wasted opportunities, U20 Colombia needed less than half of the second half to deal with Slovakia.

In the 48th and 50th minutes, Oscar Cortes and Yaser Asprilla scored to help Colombia take a 2-0 lead. The consecutive losses caused the European representative's defense to crumble. As a result, they had to receive two more goals when the second half had lasted less than 20 minutes.

Colombia U20 have reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the second consecutive time.

In the 52nd minute, U20 Colombia pressed impressively to launch an attack. Tomas Angel Gutierrez fired a dangerous shot from the 16.5 meter mark, forcing goalkeeper Adam Danko to pick the ball out of the net for the third time.

11 minutes later, Gutierrez made his mark again with a breakthrough and a shot into the Slovakian net from a tight angle. The player born in 2003 completed his double, helping Colombia extinguish all hopes of Slovakia.

A late effort only helped the European representative get a consolation goal scored by 2003-born player Timotej Jambor in the 87th minute. However, Colombia restored the 4-goal gap after an easy finish by Cortes in the 90+4 minute.

Colombia won convincingly to become the second South American team to reach the World Cup quarterfinals after Brazil. Gutierrez and his teammates' opponents will be the winner of the match between England and Italy.

This is an opportunity toQuang Haito be on the field, regain form, after a long time on the bench at Pau, as well as score points with new coach Philippe Troussier.

Quang Hai's contract with Pau lasts for two years until June 2024. However, it is possible that the midfielder born in 1997 will leave the French team when Ligue 2 ends on June 3.

Recently, Quang Hai's representative hinted that he is negotiating with Pau FC about whether the midfielder will stay or leave. At the same time, Thai media reported that Quang Hai "demanded" a signing fee of 6.9 billion to join Muangthong United club.

However, up to now, Quang Hai's future next season is still a question mark./.
