Colombia 1-3 Italy

Tournament leading goalscorer Cesare Casadei added yet another goal to his tally (6) to lead Italy to the FIFA U-20 World Cup Argentina 2023™ semi-finals.

Casadei headed in the opening goal from Tommaso Baldanzi's corner kick to give Gli Azzurrini an early boost. Casadei then turned provider for Baldanzi, cushioning a header perfectly in the path for the Empoli man to double the lead.

Shortly after half-time, Baldanzi added another assist to his name, cutting back for Francesco Esposito to score with a delightful flicked finish.

Jhojan Torres gave Los Cafeteros a lifeline with a superb, curling effort from just outside Italy's penalty area, but it proved to be a mere consolation.

The future looks bright for Italian football as the nation has booked a semi-final spot for the third consecutive U-20 World Cup.
