South Africa 0-2 Italy: Amajita facing World Cup Elimination

South Africa’s Amajita are on the verge of crashing out of the FIFA U20 World Cup following Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat to Italy.

The defeat leaves the Amajita’s with no points after two matches in group D.

On Wednesday, goals from Ricarrdo Orsolini and Andrea Favilli ended the tie as South Africa struggled to create chances or ward off the flurry of attacks by the Italians.

The Azzurrini were the superior side for large stretches of the match and deserved their lead after Orsolini tucked away his penalty in the first half for their first goal of the tournament.

The Italians were able to build on their lead in the 57th minute when Giuseppe Scalera’s long throw-in found Favilli, who guided in a powerful header off the far post and into the net.

The Italians now have every chance to qualify for the next round, while South Africa are on the brink of elimination, facing a tough test against South American champions Uruguay next.
