ISTANBUL, Turkey -- Spain became the first team to advance to the knockout stages of the Under-20 World Cup, earning a lacklustre 1-0 victory over Ghana on Monday. The United States boosted its chances of reaching the final 16 with a hard-fought 1-1 draw with France after a late strike by Daniel Cuevas. Spain, the tournament favourite, was a shadow of the team that routed the Americans 4-1. It rarely threatened and often appeared unsettled by Ghanas pressing style. The only real chance for Spain came in the 13th minute when Denis Suarez took a long ball and sent a pass to an unmarked Jese who tapped it in. Ghana had the better chances in the second period but struggled to finish. A header from Frank Acheapong went wide in the 55th and then Yiadome Boakye spun around and fired his shot just over the goal three minutes later. Ghanas Ebenezer Assifuah was taken down in the area in injury time by defender Israel Puerto but no penalty was called. Spain coach Julen Lopetegui insisted he was "happy" with his sides performance despite its lack of offence. "We played a strong physical team and we had a lot of chances," he said. "We scored one goal and dominated the second half. We are very happy to be in the second round." Ghanas Sellas Tetteh praised his players "brave" effort and blamed the poor finish on his sides inexperience. It now must beat the United States in its final group match for any chance of advancing. "You never call it over until its over," Tetteh said. "That is the game of football. There is nothing that is impossible. We will give it our final shot." In the earlier match, France looked on pace to win and advance after Auxerre striker Yaya Sanogo scored his second goal of the tournament from a penalty kick in the 48th minute. It came after Dimitri Foulquier was sideswiped by Americas Javan Torre in the area. The United States had few chances and missed those it did have -- the worst when Luis Gils penalty was easily saved in the 65th. But the Americans grew in confidence toward the end and it paid off in the 85th. Gil made up for his miss, curving a free kick into the area that Cuevas pounced on and scored. "I feel like they were confused. They couldnt get the ball out and luckily it took a bounce my way and I got to push it in," Cuevas said.dddddddddddd The late goal showed the character of the American team, he said. "Our team is very united and we are always together and pushing forward," Cuevas said. "If things dont go our way, we keep trying and keep trying until they do. Luckily we got the tie." Coach Tab Ramos admitted he was a "little disappointed" with the performance from the Americans early on but happy to come away with a draw. "My disappointment is that in a game like today we should have gotten all three points," Ramos said. "At the end of the day, it was great courage, effort by our team." With France and Spain having won their openers, the United States needs a victory in its final match against Ghana to advance outright. But it could still advance as one of the four best third-placed teams. France failed to repeat the form that beat Ghana 3-1 in its opener. "I dont think we had a great control of the game tonight," France coach Pierre Mankowski said. "It feels a bit strange because the U.S. team was hardly dangerous. But they had situations they should have never had. We conceded a penalty and a free-kick, which led to their goal." France will be without captain Paul Pogba for their final group match against Spain after a second yellow card in two matches. "The boys were really disappointed at the end of the game," Mankowski said. "Playing without Pogba for the last crucial game against Spain is something we have to figure out tomorrow when things will be quieter." In the other early match in Group B, Nigeria got its campaign on track with a 3-0 win over newcomer Cuba. Aminu Umar scored twice in four minutes and captain Abdul Ajagun got his third of the tournament as the African team easily beat Cuba. Nigeria opened the scoring when Olarenwaju Kayodefed fed Umar for the easy tap-in with 19 minutes gone. Four minutes later, Abdullahi Shehu drilled a cross which Umar flicked between his legs for the goal. The Nigerians completed the route in the 67th when Kingsley Madus cross was headed home by Ajagun. In the other Group B match, South Korea twice came from behind to draw with Portugal 2-2. ' ' '
