They go for the ranking. The Colombian under-20 team will look for a historic qualification for the semi-finals of the U-20 World Cup when it is measured against Italy, one of the strongest teams in the tournament, from 4pm this Saturday.
The national team, led by coach Héctor Cárdenas, still does not know what it is like to lose in this ecumenical event. Italy, for its part, will try to strike again after beating Brazil in the group stage and knocking out England in the round of 16.
Colombia repeats the same eleventh from its previous game against Slovenia.
– Alignments:
Colombia: Luis Marquinez; Edier Ocampo, Kevin Mantilla, Fernando Álvarez, Andrés Salazar; Gustavo Puerta, Jhojan Torres, Alexis Manyoma; Oscar Cortés, Yáser Asprilla and Tomás Ángel. Coach: Hector Cardenas.
Italy: Sebastiano Desplanches; Mattia Zanotti, Ricardo Turicchia, Gabriele Guarino, Daniele Ghilardi; Samuel Giovane, Matteo Prati, Cesare Casadei, Tommaso Baldanzi; Francesco Esposito and Giuseppe Ambrosino. Trainer: Carmine Nunziata.
