Argentina and Colombia's Under-20 squads will face each other tomorrow evening in Asuncion, as both sides qualified for the final of the Hexagonal youth tournament currently taking place in Paraguay.
Sergio Batista's Argentina side secured their passage to the final on Thursday evening, after drawing 0-0 against Mexico. The Albiceleste had previously been victorious against Rioplatense rivals Uruguay, a goal from Estudiantes starlet Michael Hoyos enough to ensure a 1-0 win.
Colombia on the other hand opened the tournament with a 1-0 triumph over hosts Paraguay, Michael Ortega's 35th minute penalty proving the difference between the two sides.
They then went on to draw 0-0 with Brazil on Tuesday, and the Canarinhas' subsequent 2-1 reverse at the hands of Paraguay ensured that the Tricolor would dispute Saturday's decider. Guarani striker Jorge Ortega opened the scoring for the hosts, only for substitute Henrique to equal midway for the second half.
The home side pushed for more however, and were duly rewarded three minutes from the end when replacement Oscar Ruiz hit home the winner. The Guarani's reward is to dispute the 3rd/4th place play-off against Uruguay shortly before the final kicks off.
