2017 U-20 World Cup round-up, round of 16: Yangel Herrera puts Venezuela into quarterfinals

A relatively even contest seemed destined for a penalty shoot-out: Venezuela and Japan had traded chances for close to two hours, and kicked off the second half of extra time looking like they'd need spot kicks to figure out which of them was heading to the quarterfinals of the 2017 Men's U-20 World Cup.

But Yangel Herrera - a Manchester City signing currently on loan to New York City FC in MLS - connected with a corner in the 108th minute to put Venezuela through to the last eight of the tournament.
