Mexico, the reigning U17 world champion, secured a serene victory in the semi-final, setting the stage for their title defense in the upcoming final of the 2013 edition. The Latin American clash on Tuesday saw Mexico dominating Argentina with a convincing 3-0 triumph.
Goals from Ivan Ochoa (scoring twice) and Marco Granados propelled Mexico into the final with ease. The Argentine team, visibly losing their composure, suffered a setback as two of their players, striker Ibanez and goalkeeper Batalla, received red cards.
As Mexico awaits to discover their final opponent, the possibility of facing the last African representative looms. Nigeria and Sweden are set to face off in less than an hour to determine who will challenge Mexico for the coveted title.
