New Zealand faces Uzbekistan in Santiago del Estero with the aim of becoming the first classified for the round of 16 of the Under-20 World Cup in Argentina 2023. The “Juniors Kiwis” need a victory which will be played at the Único Madre de Ciudades, broadcast by TyC Sports and DSports, in the round before the Argentina and Guatemala match.
The first goal came in the 23rd minute of the first half, after a long-range shot from Benjamin Wallace who came on thanks to a weak reply from goalkeeper Boymurodov. Up until the goal, Uzbekistan had taken their most risky actions.
Before halftime, New Zealand struck again. As in the previous minutes, Uzbekistan came with a match associated with the rival goal, but did no damage. More practical, the oceanians tried again and managed to widen the difference.
This time the author of the goal was Jay Herdman, with a small step and a half turn he pulled off a barbaric punch and nailed the ball under the right corner of the goalkeeper, who this time could do nothing despite the effort to avoid it .
