JAKARTA - The Barcelona U-18 team advanced to the 2021 International Youth Championship (IYC) final after defeating the Bali United U-18 squad with a score of 4-0 in a match held at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), Jakarta, Sunday.

As reported by Antara, Jorge Diaz scored twice, while Nil Soteres and Jan Vilaseca each contributed one goal for Barcelona who lead the IYC 2021 standings with seven points from three matches, while Bali United slumped to the bottom after losing all their appearances so far.

Barcelona played a typical game of short passes to keep the ball and make it difficult for Bali United and took the lead after just nine minutes through Jorge Diaz who capitalized on the chaos inside the opposition penalty box.

Bara, who was relatively comfortable in controlling the match, doubled their lead a minute before the break with a strike from Nil Soteres.

In the second half, the situation did not change. Barcelona who played neatly and took advantage of the width of the field brought an additional goal in the 68th minute through Jorge Diaz's second goal.

Seven minutes later, it was Jan Molina Vilaseca's turn to score for Barcelona. It was Vilaseca's third goal at IYC 2021.

After that, neither team could score another goal. Barcelona also won the match with a score of 4-0.

Barcelona's opponent in the final will only be determined from the results of the match between Atlético Madrid's U-18s against Indonesia's U-20 All-Stars, which will take place later tonight.

The U-20 Indonesia All-Star only needed a draw to advance to the final, while Atletico had to win if they wanted to challenge the Blaugrana in the final.
