France U20 will go head to head against Gambia U20 at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in the FIFA U20 World Cup on Thursday.
Following their 2-1 defeat to South Korea in the opening game of Group F, France must avoid a third consecutive defeat. Alan Virginius, a young player from Lille, converted a penalty kick in the 70th minute to raise hopes for a win or an equalizer. However, the Asians prevailed at the end of the game to take the group’s lead.
The 2013 champions Les Bleuets hope to get back on track by scoring their first three points against The Gambia on Thursday. However, mentor Landry Chauvin has conceded that it would be a troublesome mission for his group because of the Youthful Scorpions’ “winded going after pace.”
Gambia beat Honduras 2-1 to move into second place in the group with three points. After just one minute, Adama Bojang scored for the African team, but Aceituno scored back for them four minutes later. And keeping in mind that it appeared they were set out toward a 1-1 draw, Bojang grabbed the champ in the 84th moment.
After making their debut in 2007, which ended in the round of 16, The Young Scorpions are currently participating in their second competition. After finishing as runners-up in the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, which was won by Senegal, they qualified for the current edition. Gambia is anticipated to rise to the challenge posed by France, buoyed by their first victory.
