A thrilling semifinal

The Valencia CF youth team beat Mauritania in the semifinals in a thrilling match in which Óscar Sánchez’s side initially imposed their game, taking the lead with goals from Poveda after a corner and Dominykas Taucas early in the second half.

In that second half, the African side used their physical strength to draw level, but in the closing stages the Valencia CF youth team showed the competitive spirit that saw them crowned champions of Group 7 in the División de Honor and reach the Copa de Campeones final last season. Vílchez scored the third and final goal, sparking celebration among the Valencianistas.
