SA lose to Italy in FIFA Under-20 World Cup

South Africa Under-20 lost to Italy 2-0 in their FIFA Under-20 World Cup Group D clash at the Suwon World Cup Stadium, in Korea Republic on Wednesday.


South Africa were outclassed for much of the encounter, and fashioned little in the way of genuine chances on the Italian goal until the African side had gone two goals down.

It was the second loss in a row for the South Africans who lost 2-1 to Japan in their opening game of the competition on Sunday.
