Group A was defined with victories for Brazil and Colombia in their respective commitments against Paraguay and Argentina, while Peru, without units, rested and said goodbye to the South American without pain or glory. With a goal from Juan David Fuentes with the complicity of Franco Herrera, the Colombians were left with the last ticket of three possible to say present in the Hexagonal Final. For his part, Javier Mascherano with the Argentine team signed the worst participation of an albiceleste team in the history of the South American U-20s that has been taking place since 1958.
Brazil and Paraguay, a duel between the qualifiers, fighting to see who would win first place left the Brazilians seeded at the top with goals from Stenio and Ronald Cardoso to come back from Kevin Pereira’s goal.
