The goal that decided the match was scored with five minutes remaining by Uruguayan forward Luciano Rodriguez. For Italy, however, it was the best performance ever in an Under-20 World Cup, given that in past editions they had never gone beyond third place. Its striker, Cesare Casadei, was also both the top scorer of the tournament with 7 goals and the best player ever; goalkeeper Sebastiano Desplanches was instead voted best in his role.
