In an intense COTIF Tournament encounter, Venezuela U20 emerged victorious over Chile U20 with a narrow 2-1 win. Both squads displayed a high level of aggression, with a combined total of seven yellow cards and three red cards, which significantly influenced the rhythm and discipline of the match. The early goal by Chile U20 in the sixth minute, quickly countered by Venezuela U20 just four minutes later, set an electrifying tone, but it was the second-half goal from Venezuela U20 that proved decisive.

Venezuela's ability to capitalize on their chances was key to their victory. They used their set-piece opportunities effectively despite having one less corner kick than their opponents. Their striking accuracy and efficiency in front of goal were notable, with fewer shots off-target compared to Chile U20. Venezuela's attacking prowess was further complemented by maintaining a disciplined defensive line, catching Chile U20 offside a total of six times, which disrupted much of Chile's attacking flow.

The match saw a volatile contest, particularly in terms of discipline, with Chile U20 seeing two players sent off, which hindered their ability to mount a comeback after Venezuela's second-half goal. Venezuela’s one red card reduced their own manpower, but they managed to hold on to their lead, showcasing their teamwork and resilience. The impact of disciplinary issues was clear, as Chile’s reduced numbers in the second half limited their strategic options and attacking threats, ultimately allowing Venezuela U20 to maintain their advantage and secure the win.
