This morning, the two arch-rivals Brazil and Argentina faced off in the South American Under-20 Championship with the equation of deciding the title. Although Argentina was considered the favorite after defeating Brazil 6-0 in the group stage, Brazil tried to take revenge in this match.

In the first half, Brazil had no chance to turn around due to Argentina's dominance. However, Claudio Echeverri scored a penalty in the 38th minute of the match, giving Argentina a 1-0 lead. After the break, Brazil became quite aggressive and equalized in the 78th minute with Ryan's goal.

However, neither team was able to win after that. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. Brazil now has 10 points, and Argentina also has 10 points, but they are behind on goal difference. Brazil will play against Chile in the last match and Argentina will play against Paraguay. If both teams remain on equal points, the title will be decided by goal difference.

The field was very tense towards the end, with the referee giving 8 yellow cards in multiple clashes.

The result of this match will have to wait until the end for the title!
