England beat Chile and Iraq beat Egypt 2-1 later in the game.

After two rounds of group matches, England and Iraq had 1 win, 1 tie and 4 points, Chile had 1 win and 1 loss, 3 points, and Egypt had no points for both defeats.

Since the third place in the group with the four best results can also qualify, it can be said that the team with 4 points has no problem in advancing.

But it is also for this reason that even Egypt, which lost both games, was not eliminated. As long as they win the last game and try to get as many goal differences as possible, they still have a chance to qualify.

In the final round, Egypt's opponent is England.

On June 29, the England team moved to Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey, where they will play the final round of the group stage.

In terms of the arrangement of the World Youth Championship, each group will compete in a city, which was the case in the first two rounds of the previous group stage.

But in the last round, for the sake of fairness, the two games of the same group must be played at the same time, and one stadium is not enough, so a group of games will be arranged elsewhere.

In the last round of Group E where England is in, the match between Iraq and Chile will continue to be played at the Akdenis University Stadium, while the match between England and Egypt will be played at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul.

Ataturk Stadium, also known as Ataturk Olympic Stadium, is the largest stadium in Turkey with a capacity of 80,000 people.

Many Liverpool fans should have an impression of this stadium, because the 2005 Champions League final was played in this stadium.

Although the attention of the World Youth Championship is not high, more than 20,000 people came to the scene today. This is still with the addition of Jackie Chan's fame, but the major European sports TV stations will still broadcast the game.

At this time, England's commentator was also talking about the situation.

"Although the first game was unexpectedly drawn by Iraq, the boys quickly adjusted their status and won against Chile in the second key game. The problem of qualifying is no longer a big problem. Now the most important thing is to strive to win the group. one."

"If you want to be first in the group, you must not only win the game against Egypt, but also try to win as much as possible to earn a few more goal difference."

At this time, the game officially started.

Egypt has lost two games in a row. It can be said that it is the weakest in this group. England will certainly not be soft in the face of such a real belly.

In the first attack in the opening game, Li Chenglong dribbled the ball into the opponent's penalty area to complete the goal, but the opponent's goalkeeper Awad reacted quickly and saved the ball.

This time the goal completely blew the clarion call for England's full-scale attack.

In the 16th minute, Li Chenglong took a long shot after passing the opponent's midfielder Hamad. After the ball bounced in front of the goal, it flew into the lower left corner of the goal from above the opponent's goalkeeper's palm.

"Goooooooal~~~~~~"

"Bruce Lee~~~Beautiful long-range goal!!"

"In the three group matches, Lee scored in each game. Perhaps Hodgson should learn from Southgate and see how he activates Lee."

In the 24th minute, Kane received a pass from Barkley, quickly dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and was directly tripped by the opponent's defender. The referee immediately gave a penalty.

Although Kane's fall was a bit exaggerated, it was indeed an obvious foul in the penalty area, and there was no problem with giving a penalty kick.

So, Li Chenglong came to take the penalty kick, directly deceived the opponent's goalkeeper, and hit the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.

"Beautiful~~~Bruce~~~Score the goal!!"

"Less than ten minutes, Li scored twice, I think he has a good chance to continue to complete the hat-trick!"

Of course Jackie Lee wanted a hat trick, so he continued to look for opportunities.

Finally, in the 41st minute, Jackie Chan and Adam Ritchie dribbled the ball into the penalty area after a two-to-one cooperation in the frontcourt. Shen shoulders changed direction and passed the opponent's defender Osama, and volleyed from a small angle to score.

"Goooooooal~~~~~~"

"Bruce Lee~~~ hat trick!!"

"The first half is not over yet.

Lee completed a hat-trick! ! "

"Bruce Lee has always been Bruce Lee, he is a new generation of football superstar, he is the real third person in football!"

With Jackie Chan's hat-trick, England led Egypt 3-0 in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the team began to slow down under Southgate's instructions, preparing to reap the game.

In the 78th minute, seeing that there was still no change in the game, Southgate replaced Jackie Lee and asked him to rest.

The schedule of the World Youth Championship is very tense. There are three consecutive games. In the previous two games, Li Chenglong played the whole game directly. This time is about to be won. Come down to rest and prepare for the next knockout.

But after Li Chenglong left the court, problems soon appeared on the court.

In the 83rd minute, Egyptian striker Trezeguet pulled back a goal through a long shot. This time England's defense was fine, and the opponent's long shot was beautiful.

But the atmosphere on the field became a little tense, because the Egyptian saw the hope of equalizing the score.

Even if they are going to be sent home, the Egyptians definitely don't want to go home with a three-game defeat. Of course, they will strive to get a point if they have a chance.

At this moment, Southgate also stood up, shouting non-stop on the sidelines, hoping that the team would stabilize the situation.

But in the 90th minute, Egypt still took a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, and another forward Hassan completed a pad shot and scored. This time it was Flanagan who lost him.

So during the four minutes of stoppage time, Li Chenglong stood nervously on the sidelines, worried that he would be equalized if he had to lead by three goals, and it happened to be in the stadium where Liverpool completed the miracle in Istanbul, so he didn't know what to do after the game It was programmed.

Fortunately, there is not much time left in the game. England still defended the four minutes of stoppage time and won the game with a thrilling score of 3:2.

At the end of the group stage, England U20 successfully qualified as the first in the group with 2 wins and 1 tie with 7 points.

The first place in this group was also quite thrilling. In another game that was played at the same time in the last round, Iraq continued to be upset and defeated the South American powerhouse Chile with a score of 2:1. It also scored 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 points.

The two teams have the same points and two goal difference, but England scored 7 goals and conceded 5 goals, while Iraq scored 6 goals and conceded 4 goals. England overwhelmed the opponent with one more goal.

So in the last round in Istanbul, if they were tied at the last moment, England would have to qualify second in the group.

In the three group matches, Li Chenglong scored a total of 5 goals in each game, temporarily ranking first in the world youth championship scorer list.

But Portuguese striker Bruma also scored 5 goals in 3 games, tied with Li Chenglong.

In addition, Spain's Jesse scored 4 goals in 3 games, only one.

However, Jackie Chan's hat-trick was the first hat-trick in this World Youth Championship, and also the only hat-trick for the time being.

The World Youth Championship group stage is over. According to the prior drawing arrangement, England, the first in Group E, will face Paraguay, the second in Group D, in the round of 16.

In the same half as England, Spain is the most popular and Uruguay is the fifth most popular.

France, the second favorite, and Portugal, the fourth favorite, entered the other half.

The 1st, 3rd and 5th favorites are in one half of the district, and the second and fourth favorites are in the other half, which is also reasonable.
