Focus on sports information and the emergence of champions.

The U20 World Cup has entered its final battle. The two teams competing for the championship are Africa's dark horse Morocco, and the traditional powerhouse and South American powerhouse Argentina.

In the end, after 90 minutes of fierce fighting, a big upset came into being.

The Argentina team, the 6-time World Youth Championship champion, was swept with a score of 0-2. While they missed the opportunity to set another record, they watched the dark horse of Africa create history.

became the second African team to win the U20 World Cup after Ghana.

The Moroccan men's football team has been in the international football world until the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. At that time, they not only reached the knockout rounds, but also eliminated the favorite Portuguese men's football team led by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 1/8 finals. They became famous in one battle and became the undisputed dark horse and surprise of that World Cup.

Now, the Moroccan national youth team has once again become famous in world football, which is a miracle.

In fact, from the beginning of the group stage, Morocco's performance showed its potential to win the championship.

We were placed in a group with recognized strong teams such as Spain and Brazil. Before the game, many people thought that qualifying was a luxury, but unexpectedly, they ended up at the top of the group.

Coming to the knockout rounds, Morocco used a very convincing performance to win against strong teams in a row. It first eliminated the Korean men's football team, a traditional Asian team, and then defeated the North American representative and the favorite to win the United States 3-1 in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, they faced another strong team, the French men's football team, and had the last laugh through penalty kicks. In the final, they will face Argentina, the six-time champion with the most wins in the history of the World Youth Championship.

Even so, Morocco still became the final winner, winning in an economical way and successfully winning the trophy.

Looking back on this game, the Moroccan team, which is well aware of the reality of Argentine football, took the initiative to show weakness, handed over possession of the ball, and carried out the defensive counterattack strategy to the end.

In the 12th minute of the game, Morocco knocked on the Argentina goal. The team's hero Zabri took advantage of a free kick opportunity and directly penetrated the opponent's goal to help the team lead 1-0;

The second goal after just 17 minutes In the 9th minute, Morocco once again found an opportunity during the defensive transition, and quickly started to counterattack with the ball. Zabri in the penalty area received the ball from behind and shot the ball into the net. He not only scored twice, but also helped Morocco win another victory and expand the lead with a score of 2-0.

In the entire first half, the Argentine team had 70% of the ball possession rate, and not one shot was within the goal frame. Morocco, on the other hand, made its mark efficiently, with 5 shots on goal, 4 on target, and 2 goals!

In the second half, the Argentina team, which was pressing hard, tried to attack, but Morocco was united and formed an iron wall with 11 people. Even though the ball possession rate was close to 80%, the Argentina team still had no gains and could only accept the fate of losing 0-2. The dream of winning the cup for the seventh time was shattered!

In this way, Morocco’s championship journey can be called a cheat. Starting from the knockout rounds, it has continuously defeated the top teams in Asia, North America, Europe and Mexico. It not only won honors for African football, but also went down in history and left a heavy mark in the history of the World Youth Championship.

As Morocco won this year's World Youth Championship, various awards followed after the game. As the champion team, Morocco has undoubtedly become the favorite for awards. The two forwards have gained a lot. Among them, Mama won the Golden Ball. Zabiri, the offensive hero who scored twice in the final, won the Silver Ball. Delgado, the midfielder of the runner-up Argentina team, won the Bronze Ball.

Congratulations to Moroccan football again for winning a great game!
