Mexico Advances In U20 World Cup After Draw

Mexico held England to a 0-0 draw to secure a spot in the second round of the Under-20 World Cup, leaving the English relying on results in other groups to remain in contention at the tournament.

Argentina defeated North Korea 3-0 in Medellin earlier Thursday to top Group F with seven points, three more than Mexico. England ended with three points after three scoreless draws but could still advance if it is among the four best third-place finishers from the six groups. North Korea was eliminated with one point.

Mexico had its best chance with a penalty in the 14th minute, but striker Taufic Guarch had his shot saved by England goalkeeper Jack Butland. The penalty was awarded after England defender Reece Brown's foul on Erick Torres inside the area.
