Under-20s World Cup | Round of 16

Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario
We said: Colombia Under-20s 2-1 Slovakia Under-20s
Colombia have not exactly been a force to be reckoned with in the defensive third, but the Tricolor responded admirably to going behind in their three group games and can trouble an equally permeable Slovakia backline.
Slovakia can count themselves fortunate to even be in the last 16, and their run will likely come to an end against the unbeaten Colombians, but Cardenas's men will not be many people's picks to get the better of England or Italy in the last eight.
