This will be the second encounter in 20 years in which an African team reaches the final, repeating the story of 2005, where Lionel Messi led the victory against Nigeria.\n\nFor its part, Colombia, despite its effort and the adversity of playing with one less player after the expulsion of Jhon Renter\u00eda in the 79th minute, did not manage to advance and will face France for third place on Saturday 18th in Santiago.\n\nThe decisive goal for Argentina was scored by Matteo Silvetti in the 72nd minute, who established himself as a key figure, repeating his performance in the quarter-finals.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Party Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\nThe match began with Colombia showing greater aggressiveness in attack, led by Joel Canchimbo, while Argentina relied on the fast incursions of Gianluca Prestianni.\n\nAs the match progressed, both teams intensified the fight on the field, responding with constant attacks in both areas.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Argentina-vs-Colombia.jpg\" alt=\"Argentina vs Colombia\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nArgentina created danger with its offensive trident composed of Alejo Sarco, Ian Subiabre and Prestianni, while Colombia responded with Canchimbo, Emilio Aristiz\u00e1bal and Kener Gonz\u00e1lez.\n\nThe situation for Colombia was complicated by Canchimbo&#8217;s injury and his subsequent replacement by Jhon Renter\u00eda.\n\nIn the second half, Argentina made tactical changes, including the entry of Mateo Silvetti, who had a clear scoring opportunity. Colombia responded with Aristiz\u00e1bal, but without success.\n\nArgentine goalkeeper Santino Barbi stood out, stopping key shots and keeping Colombia at bay.\n\nThe Argentinian coach Diego Placente tried to change the course of the match, but the referee did not grant a requested red card.\n\nFinally, Silvetti scored the goal for Argentina, taking advantage of an assist from Prestianni.\n\nThe match intensified with Renter\u00eda&#8217;s expulsion and, although the Colombian coach requested a red card for an Argentinian player, the referee kept the yellow card.\n\nArgentina controlled the game until the end, securing the victory.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Argentina:<\/b> Santino Barbi; Dylan Gorosito (m.85, Santiago Fern\u00e1ndez); Tom\u00e1s P\u00e9rez; Juan Villalba; Tob\u00edas Ram\u00edrez; Julio Soler; Milton Delgado; Valentino Acu\u00f1a (m.45, Tob\u00edas Andrada); Ian Subiabre (m. 45, Mateo Silvetti); Gianluca Prestianni (m.90, Santino Andino); Alejo Sarco.
