Mexico in semis

MEXICO remained in position to win its third major football tournament this year, beating host Colombia 3-1 on Saturday night to advance to the semifinals of the Under-20 World Cup. Mexico's senior team won the regional Gold Cup title in June, defeating the United States 4-2, and added the Under-17 World Cup title in July, beating Uruguay 2-0 in the final. Next up for Mexico will be either Spain or Brazil. In Saturday's other quarterfinal, Portugal ousted six-time champion Argentina 5-4 in a penalty shootout following a 0-0 stalemate through 90 minutes of regulation time and 30 minutes of extra time. Portugal faces the winner of the match between Nigeria and France.
