Japan won 3-0 in the third Group A match of the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup against New Zealand at Estadio Elias Figueroa Brander in Valparaiso, Chile on the 4th (Korea time).
Japan, which led by Ogura Kosei (Hosei University) in the 22nd minute of the first half, ran away with an own goal by Steph Ukichi (NKystra) in the 19th minute of the second half. Ishii Hisatsugu (Shonan Belmare) sealed the net in the 37th minute of the second half.
Japan, which earlier beat Egypt and host Chile 2-0 to confirm its advance to the round of 16, secured the top spot in the group with a perfect score of seven points and all three wins.
As a result, Japan will move to Santiago on the 9th to compete with one of the third-place teams in Group C, D and E to advance to the quarterfinals. At this point, it is one of Brazil (Group C), Cuba (Group D), and South Africa's Engineering Bureau (Group E). If he had finished second in the group stage with a loss in the final match, he would have faced second place in Group C, a 'Death Group' that includes Morocco, Mexico, Brazil and Spain.

South Korea, which tied the match against Ukraine (1-2 loss) and Paraguay (0-0 draw), finished the group stage in third place, trailing Ukraine (6 points) and Paraguay (4 points). They tied Paraguay in both points and gains and losses (0) but fell one goal behind in multiple points.
In this tournament, which will involve 24 countries, a total of 16 teams from the first and second places in six groups and the third-place four teams with good performance will advance to the round of 16 tournaments. South Korea did not automatically qualify for the round of 16, but its victory over Panama raised it to the top of the group's third place.
I had to wait and see the results of the third-place team in the other group, but good news was immediately delivered. New Zealand, which had three points in the previous two games, was held back by Japan. While Japan secured the top spot in Group A, Chile tied Egypt 1-1 to confirm the second place with four points. New Zealand, which stayed in third place, fell behind South Korea on points.

Group F's rankings could fluctuate depending on the results of the final match, with Colombia, the second-ranked Norway (four points), and Nigeria, the third-ranked team, being bitten and bitten. Saudi Arabia, the lowest-ranked team, was confirmed to be eliminated early with all two losses.
Brazil (1 point), ranked third in Group C, will play Spain (1 point), ranked fourth in Group C, at 5 a.m. on the 5th, and Cuba (1 point), ranked third in Group D, will play the final group match against Australia (0 point) ranked fourth in Group D at 8 a.m. on the same day. From Lee Chang-won's point of view, there is nothing better if both games are drawn.
As of the end of the group league schedule in Groups A and B, the ranking of the third-place teams in the group is as follows.
Ranking = Country name = Number of games = Score = Score = Score = Score difference
1=Korea =3=4=3=3=0
2=South Africa =2=3=6=2=+4
3= Nigeria=2=3=3=3=0
4 = New Zealand = 3 = 3 = 6 =-3
5=Brazil =2=1=3=4=-1
6=Cuba=2=1=3=5=-2
