Uruguay U20 are en route their third U20 World Cup final, unless Israel U20 beat them to the spot in the first semi-final of the tournament at Estadio Unico Diego Armando Maradona on Thursday.
Marcelo Broli's side beat United States with a 2-0 win in the quarter-finals, where the Western Asian outfit edged South American giants Brazil 3-2.
The last two times Uruguay made it to the final, they lost out to Argentina and France in 2013 and 2017, respectively. Whereas this is the first time Israel have ever qualified for the finals of the tournament.
