The primary purpose of Group D of the 2017 Men's U-20 World Cup appears to be to deprive the knockout rounds of at least one good team. Uruguay has made sure it won't be a victim of this group; South Africa looks set to succumb to the toughest group in the tournament.
Italy 2-0 South Africa
Italy got its campaign on track after an opening-game loss to Uruguay. Riccardo Orsolini scored a penalty in the first half, and Andrea Favilli added a second in the 57th minute to claim all three points for the Italians.
