On October 8, the knockout round of the World Youth Championship began. The host team Chile faced the Mexico team. Although they had the advantage of home court, the Chilean team still lost in the face of the absolute strength gap. In the end, they lost 1-4 to the Mexican team and missed the quarterfinals.

In this World Youth Championship, the Chilean team performed poorly overall. They only won 1 of 3 games in the group stage and advanced to the top 16 in a thrilling manner. This time facing the Mexican team, which was undefeated in three group stage games, the Chilean team was beaten and abandoned.

In the first half, Jimenez scored early to help Mexico lead 1-0. After losing the ball, the Chilean team attacked wildly and counterattacked. At the beginning of the second half, the Chilean team shot, causing the opponent to handball, but the referee did not award a penalty kick. The morale of the Chilean team was greatly damaged as several attacks failed to score. At the critical moment, the Mexican team counterattacked, and Ochoa scored from a long shot to make the score 2-0.

In the 80th minute, the Mexican team counterattacked from the side, and then they cooperated continuously. After the shot was saved by the Chilean goalkeeper, the Mexican team attacked twice. In the end, Camberos outflanked and scored, and the score became 3-0. The game completely lost suspense. After that, the two teams each scored 1 goal. In the end, the Mexican team defeated their opponents 4-1 in the away game and advanced to the quarterfinals.

In another game, the Spanish team defeated the Ukrainian team 1-0 and also reached the quarterfinals. As of now, 2 seats have been locked in the top 8 of this World Youth Championship. Next, 6 teams will be born in the top 8 of the World Youth Championship. Among them, the Japanese team and the South Korean team, which represent Asia, both hope to advance.

‍ In the 1/8 knockout round, the Japanese team encountered a strong enemy, the French team. In the group stage, the Japanese team won all 3 games and was one of the best performing teams, while the French team had 2 wins and 1 loss, and performed equally well. In terms of strength, the Japanese team is a worthy opponent, but whether it can finally eliminate the French team depends on the Japanese team's on-the-spot performance.

As for the South Korean team, their opponent is the Moroccan team. In the group stage, the Moroccan team was in the same group as Brazil, Spain and Mexico. As a result, they qualified first with 2 wins and 1 loss. In this group, the Spanish team and the Mexican team have advanced to the quarterfinals, the Brazilian team was eliminated at the bottom of the group, and the Moroccan team won the first place in the group, which shows its strength. If the Korean team cannot perform beyond their normal capabilities, they may not be able to pass the Moroccan team. In this World Youth Championship, only Japan and South Korea have entered the top 16 in Asia. Next, they will have to face strong teams. I hope these two teams can advance and win glory for Asian football!
