1-0, a stunning victory in the 83rd minute, Italy defeated the powerful African team and advanced to the semi-finals of the U17 World Cup

In the quarter-finals of the U17 World Cup, the Italian team faced the African powerhouse Burkina Faso.

Italy eliminated Uzbekistan in the quarter-finals, while Burkina Faso eliminated Uganda in the quarter-finals. Burkina Faso went all the way from the group stage to the quarter-finals, losing only to the United States in the first round of the group stage. It won all the other games, including defeats against strong European teams such as Germany and the Czech Republic. Therefore, Burkina Faso's strength cannot be underestimated. The Italian team has maintained a complete victory from the group stage and is obviously in better shape than Burkina Faso. Therefore, before the game, more fans were full of confidence that Italy, which was stronger on paper, could defeat Burkina Faso.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Zongo hit the crossbar with a long shot from outside the penalty area on the right side, and Italy escaped.

In the 80th minute, Reginha succeeded in a supplementary shot in front of the goal, but unfortunately it was offside and Burkina Faso escaped.

After 3 minutes, that is, in the 83rd minute, the Burkina Faso goalkeeper made a mistake in the ball. The 17-year-old Campaniello stole the ball and shot from the top of the arc to help Italy take the lead.

In the end, Italy defeated Burkina Faso as expected and advanced to the semi-finals of the U17 World Cup.
