Colombia VS Slovakia
In the group stage, Colombia advanced to the top spot with 7 points in three rounds, while Slovakia qualified from a better third place in the group. What was supposed to be a close match turned out to be one-sided, with Colombia beating Slovakia wildly and eventually winning 5-1 to advance.

With Japan and Iraq eliminated in the group stage, and Uzbekistan out early in the round of 16, only South Korea is currently the only Asian team left, and if it is also eliminated, then the top 8 teams of this World Youth Championship will not have Asian teams and suffer a total annihilation in advance.
