England wins U-20 WCup
Print Edition
DOMINIC Calvert-Lewin scored and Freddie Woodman saved a penalty as England beat Venezuela 1-0 in Suwon, South Korea, to win its first Under-20 World Cup title and end the nation’s 51-year wait for a global trophy yesterday.
Everton striker Calvert-Lewin became the third England player to score in a World Cup final after Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters in 1966 — the last time England won any world title. The Young Lions had to withstand a ferocious second-half onslaught with goalkeeper Woodman saving a penalty from Venezuela’s Adalberto Penaranda 16 minutes from the end. Venezuela had equalized in the final moments of a semifinal victory over Uruguay but was unable to repeat that feat.
