[b][size=14pt]Penalty heroics secure USA progression[/size]  USA booked their place in the FIFA U-20 World Cup quarter-finals for the first time in eight years thanks to a Rubio Rubin strike and a fine Zack Steffen penalty save to help them past Colombia with a 1-0 win. The Stars and Stripes were on the back foot for much of the game but Rubin's strike in the second half was enough to secure a spot in the last eight, though Jarlan Barrera's effort from the spot had to be kept out with ten minutes to go as it looked as if he might force extra-time. The game began brightly, but was forced into a lengthy stoppage after Bradford Jamieson suffered an awkward fall. He left on a stretcher with a neck brace which saw USA's forward line deplete further, having lost Maki Tall to a broken foot in the opening game. After six minutes of inactivity, cooled muscles no doubt hindered the game's ability to get back up to speed. Both sides struggled to break the other down and, once both were again in full flow, it ultimately was a first half that was full of energy but low on chances. Good work by substitute Jordan Allen crafted a chance for Paul Arriola, which he headed over, before Gedion Zelalem forced Alvaro Montero into a save and that was largely all it served up. The best chance fell to Colombia just before the break as Steven Lucumi and Barrera combined to fire a ball across goal, but Santos Borre was denied a near-certain goal by the outstretched leg of Desevio Payne. This sight of goal may have buoyed them for their return. The South Americans emerged with a greater air of invention amongst their ranks as Borre was sent clear inside 25 seconds of the restart, only to be smothered by keeper Zack Steffan. The Freiburg stopper was called upon again after fabulous feet and vision from Alexis Zapata sent Lucumi away too, but his shot was charged down. And before Los Cafeteros knew it, they were behind. An Arriola shot was charged down on the edge of the area and, with fortune in their favour, Rubin was on hand to fire a rocket into the roof of the net from 12 yards. It was a predatory finish that the Utrecht striker has made his trademark in New Zealand, and it seemed to knock some of the wind out of Colombia. That is until the final ten minutes as the game looked set to lurch back in the direction of Carlos Alberto Restrepo's men. Kellyn Acosta hauled down Rodin Quinones to earn his second yellow and give Colombia a life-line. Steffen came to the rescue again though, diving to his right to keep out Barrera's effort. Deinner Quinones went close seconds later as Arriola had to head clear off the line, but it was enough to see them hold out. FIFA.COM [/b] 1 Like |

achimotan:dont mind ghanaians, they are ranting because they are hurt but they will soon forget everything. I personally wont ever call for sellas tetteh to be sacked because ghana won the trophy thanks to him, we keep qualifying for the u-20 worldcup because of him. When he left in 2011, we all saw what happened. With that said i wont fail to blame him if he makes mistakes. The team isnt so gud we know but on the day, he failed to provide the ryt tactics for the team... As i said earlier we needed two defensive midfielders to protect our centre backs. He should have restricted the fullbacks to defending only. We should have blocked spaces anytime mali got to our half. anyway its over now. I hope he learns from his mistakes and make 2017 squad better. 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt]Sy the penalty hero as Senegal shock Ukraine[/size]  Ibrahima Sy saved three penalties as Senegal won a dramatic shootout against Ukraine to reach the last eight at New Zealand 2015. This memorable climax came about after the sides were locked at 1-1 by the end of normal and extra time, with Artem Biesiedin's well-worked opener in Auckland having been cancelled out by a late Sidy Sarr leveller. Ukraine came into the match having kept clean sheets in all three of their previous encounters, but faced a side intent on tarnishing that unblemished record. Senegal's unpredictability and willingness to improvise provided a risk in itself, as shown when Sarr flicked the ball up with his heel to set up a volleyed chance in just five minutes. The resultant shot may have been pulled disappointingly wide, but it hinted at the Africans' approach. The Europeans had their moments too, and might have gone in front eight minutes later if Biesiedin, stretching and off balance, had been in a better position to meet Vladyslav Kabaiev's looping cross. Viktor Kovalenko, the tournament's top scorer, was notably subdued during the first half but came to life shortly after the restart, forcing Sy into a crucial block with his legs after the Senegal keeper had parried Biesiedin's initial effort. Both keepers were required to be at their best, and at the other end Bohdan Sarnavskyi - one of the best on show at this tournament - produced a wonderful save to keep the scoreline blank. Roger Gomis had done everything right, twisting into space at the edge of the box and hammering the ball towards goal. But with the Senegal captain's shot heading for the roof of the net, Sarnavskyi somehow stuck out a hand to tip it over. That was with 68 minutes played and it became all the more significant within 120 seconds when Ukraine took the lead. The lively Biesiedin was the scorer, making an overlapping run to collect Yevenii Nemtinov's clever reverse pass before opening his body to send a precise right-foot shot into the far corner of the net. Senegal, though, weren't finished yet and persistence finally paid off for Sarr with seven minutes remaining. Ukraine's perfect defensive record came crashing down in spectacular style as the Young Lions of Teranga star robbed Taras Kacharaba on the edge of the box and gave Sarnavskyi no chance with an unstoppable shot high into the net. With no further goals in normal or extra time, that left penalties to settle the outcome - and Sy to steal the spotlight. The Senegal keeper whipped up the crowd on his way to take up his position and rose to the occasion, saving from Yevhen Chumak, Yevhenii Nemtinov and Valerii Luchevych as each of Senegal's takers dispatched their kicks with aplomb.
