On May 27th at 19:00 Beijing time, in the final round of the Panda Cup U19, Chinese national youth defeated Uruguay 3-1, winning the championship of this year's Panda Cup with a record of three consecutive victories.
At the post match award ceremony, Chinese goalkeeper Peng Peng won the Best Goalkeeper award.
And Guo Tianyu from the Chinese team won the Best Scorer Award of this tournament.
In the end, the young men of the Chinese team held high the championship trophy of this year's Panda Cup, which is commendable.
This year's Panda Cup can be regarded as the strongest competition among participating teams, with England, Uruguay, and Hungary, three traditional strong teams from Europe and South America, having a much stronger overall strength than previous editions.
In the previous four editions of the Panda Cup, the Chinese team achieved third place three times, and last year they could only finish fourth. Being able to win 4-0 against Hungary, 1-0 against England, and 3-1 against Uruguay in this tournament, scoring 8 goals in three games and conceding only 1 penalty, such a result is hard for anyone to imagine before the match.
The performance of China U19 in this tournament is commendable. Guo Tianyu not only scored 2 goals to win the title of top scorer, but also played a strong supporting role in the team's front court. The two goals in this game were launched by him after winning the first point in the front court. It can be imagined that this young attacker with physical advantages and superb shooting skills is worth looking forward to in the future.

In addition, Liu Ruofan in the team has repeatedly crushed the opponent's defense with his speed and personal breakthrough ability. Xu Haoyang, who contributed to the passing and shooting in this game, is also worthy of praise for his passing and running in the attack. On the defensive end, both the goalkeeper and defender showed a calm and orderly performance, making the entire team run very smoothly.
This year's Panda Cup has brought great surprises to Chinese fans with the young men from the Chinese Youth League. However, this is just the beginning. In the second half of the year, there will be matches from the Asian Youth League waiting for them. If they can pass the group stage and the first round of the knockout stage, China will end the embarrassing situation of missing out on the World Youth League for six consecutive years!
