This Saturday saw the last date of the group stage play for Zones C and D of the Under-20 World Cup, defining the four other teams that advance to the round of 16: Colombia, Israel, Brazil and Italy. Meanwhile, Japan and Nigeria finished third, although the latter has already secured its place in the next round. Senegal and the Dominican Republic, meanwhile, were eliminated after finishing last in their groups.
In Zone C, Coffee Cast drew 1–1 with Senegal and took first place. In second place was the surprising Israel, who came back from a memorable game against Japan and with one less player, won 2–1 and entered the top 16 of the World Cup for the first time in their history. In Group B, Brazil beat Nigeria 2-0 and Italy beat Dominican Republic 3-0. As such, the first three remained with six points, so the qualifying order was defined by goal difference: thus, Verdemrela was on top, followed by the European team and the African team, respectively.

Public TV, for its part, compares Albiceleste on the television screen and Cont.ar. Depending on the progress of the competition, it is likely that programming will be modified and/or matches added or removed. With the exception of Cont.ar, which can be accessed by registering, the rest of the options require being a subscriber to a cable operator in order to tune in to the duet, either via cable service or online.
