The Argentine national team reached the semi-finals after an exceptional journey, as it defeated Nigeria 4-0 in the round of 16, then surpassed Mexico with two unanswered goals. It also achieved the full mark in the group stage after defeating Italy, Australia and Cuba, confirming its attacking strength and high organization, and its endeavor to regain the lost title, which it had won six times before, as the team that won the tournament the most via the date.
On the other hand, the Colombian team caught the attention thanks to its outstanding levels, as it surpassed Spain and South Africa in the qualifying rounds, and came to the top of its group, which included Nigeria, Norway, and Saudi Arabia. The team relies on the speed of its players in offensive transitions and their high pressure on the opponent, which makes it a difficult opponent despite Argentina’s historical advantage.
The confrontation bears a strong competitive nature in view of the long history between the two teams, as the last five confrontations between them ended in a draw, with two wins for each team and one draw, which increases the anticipation for what will result in the awaited confrontation in the golden square.
