This Wednesday, May 24, 2017 (1:00 AM Pacific) South Africa will play Italy in the 2017 U20 World Cup at the Suwon World Cup Stadium in Suwon, South Korea. Both teams have not summed up any points in the competition and will be looking to obtain their first three points of the tournament.
South Africa is coming off a 2-1 loss to Japan in the first matchday of the World Cup. The African side’s goal was not even scored by one of its players as Japan’s, Takehiro Tomiyasu scored an own goal. The encounter was even as possession was split down the middle and both teams had plenty of scoring opportunities. South Africa was unlucky in that game but can give Italy a challenging time in this game and should be able to compete in this Group D of the competition.
Italy lost its first game, falling 1-0 to Uruguay in what was a contested duel to start off the Italian’s U20 World Cup campaign. The European team played a very physical game against Uruguay picking up 18 fouls and three yellow cards in the encounter. The Italian goalkeeper, Andrea Zaccagno had a stellar performance and kept his team in the game with seven saves. This game can go either way and both teams will be motivated coming from losses to start off their campaigns. The match should be an exciting encounter between two very talented sides.
