South American U-20 Championship 2025: Paraguay Beat Chile 2-1 To Hand Over Back-To-Back Defeats - In Pics

Paraguay defeated Chile 2-1 in their second match of the South American U-20 Championship 2025 on Friday in Venezuela. This was their first win of the tournament and that was possible due to L. Kmet's late goal in the stoppage time. O Alfonso scored the first goal for Paraguay in the 55th minute. But A. Arce's 83rd-minute equalizer put the game in an interesting position. This was Chile's back-to-back second defeat in the tournament and they are at the bottom of the points table.
