ISTANBUL, Turkey -- Uruguay scored the equalizer in the 87th minute to draw with Iraq 1-1 and won the penalty shootout 7-6 to reach the final of the Under-20 World Cup on Wednesday. Runner-up in 1997, Uruguay will play first-time finalist France on Saturday. The Europeans beat Ghana 2-1 in the first semifinal. Iraq midfielder Saif Salman sent the decisive spot-kick over the crossbar after both teams missed one penalty. Gianni Rodriguez had Uruguays first attempt saved by Iraq goalkeeper Mohammed Hameed and Ali Faez also missed the first for Iraq as he hit the post. Uruguay substitute Gonzalo Bueno levelled the score with a volley in the closing minutes of regulation after Iraq took the lead in the first half on a free kick by Ali Adnan. Iraq missed the chance to reach the final of a FIFA tournament for the first time. Iraqs successful run to the semifinal has been warmly welcomed at home. Streets and cafes in Baghdad and other cities were the scene of jubilant celebrations after the wins over Paraguay and South Korea, but the streets remained calm on Wednesday. Iraq also drew a lot of Turkish fans, who switched allegiance after the host team lost in the first knockout round. Striker Florian Thauvin scored both goals for France against Ghana. Two minutes before halftime, Thauvin was set up by Jean Christophe Bahebeck, dribbled past Ghana goalkeeper Eric Antwi and netted into the empty goal. Ebenezer Assifuah equalized for Ghana in the 47th with his fifth goal of the tournament as he collected the ball with his back to the goal, and held off three defenders before directing a 20-meter strike past goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. Thauvin found the net again coming in from the right and beat Antwi with a low shot at the near post in the 74th. France defender Samuel Umtiti was sent off for receiving a second booking in the 80th and will miss the final. France, improving on its best result of fourth two years ago, can become the first European winner since Spain in 1999, which has been the sole European victory in the competition for the past 20 years.

(STATS) -- In the span of two weeks, Central Arkansas will have faced the top three in the voting for the STATS FCS Walter Payton Award.If their first test was any indication, the No. 14 Bears will have their hands full with Eastern Washingtons dynamic duo of Cooper Kupp and Gage Gubrud on Saturday in the second round of the FCS playoffs at the third-ranked Eagles Roos Field.Central Arkansas (10-2) has the FCS second-ranked rush defense, limiting opponents to an average of 72.8 yards, but has had trouble defending the pass. That deficiency was on full display in the Bears regular-season finale at top-ranked Sam Houston State on Nov. 19.The Bearkats Jeremiah Briscoe picked apart the defense, throwing seven of his FCS-leading 52 touchdown passes in a 59-23 rout, snapping Central Arkansas eight-game winning streak. Briscoe had five TD passes by halftime and threw for 431 yards, exposing a defense that ranks 96th against the pass.Last Saturdays 31-24 comeback win over Illinois State in the first round of the playoffs may have instilled some confidence, but the Bears, who finished second to Sam Houston in the Southland Conference, now have the terrifying assignment of trying to keep Kupp and Gubrud in check.The two helped the Eagles go 10-1 -- losing only to top seed North Dakota State on the road in overtime -- and earn the No. 2 seed in the FCS playoffs. They were both named the Big Skys Offensive Player of the Year -- the first time two players from the same school won that award. Even more extraordinary, the two joined Briscoe as the top three contenders for the STATS FCS Walter Payton Award on Tuesday.Thats amazing, EWU coach Beau Baldwin said. I felt they were both very deserving, but I didnt think they both would be finalists. I actually thought one might take the other players votes. You just dont see this happen very often.Kupp was the 2015 STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year and became just the fourth player in league history to be named to the Big Sky first team four times. His 91 receptions this season are the third-most in the FCS while his 129.7 receiving yards per game rank first. He owns 13 FCS receiving records, including career receptions (402), receiving yards (6,061) and touchdown catches (68).Tied to his success this season has been the play of Gubrud. The sophomores 4,086 yards are only 10 fewer than Briscoe for the most in the FCS while his 68 completion percentage and 9.27 yards per attempt both rank fourth in the division. He leads the FCS in total offense aas 412.dddddddddddd2 yards per game.Adding another wrinkle as to how Central Arkansas will defend the high-powered Eagles is the fact that Kupp isnt the only receiver it has to worry about. Senior Shaq Hill trails only Kupp in the Big Sky with 1,014 receiving yards, and his 15 TD receptions are three more than his highly decorated teammate for the second-most in the FCS.The Bears, however, arent the only ones going to have their work cut out for themselves defensively.While EWU is third in the FCS in scoring at 44.2 points per game, Central Arkansas is also capable of piling up the points, averaging 34.7 to tie for 15th in the division.It scored 24 in the fourth quarter alone in its wild comeback versus Illinois State last weekend, as Antwon Wells 4-yard touchdown run with 1:28 remaining proved to be the game-winner for the Bears, who entered the final period down by 10.I think the guys saw we had 15 minutes left in the season, UCA coach Steve Campbell said. Its now or never. Its do or die time. I think the guys took that mantra finish.Unlike the Eagles, the Bears rely a bit more on the run.Freshman Carlos Blackman (590 yards, 4 TDs) leads a balanced ground game that features six players that have rushed for at least 200 yards and have totaled 27 scores. Quarterback Hayden Hildebrand is among that group, having run for 213 yards while throwing for 2,936 yards and 19 scores.His favorite target is senior Desmond Smith, who was named to the All-Southland first team and owns Central Arkansas all-time receiving records with 2,804 yards and 223 catches.The Bears also will have a major advantage when they have the ball, as Eastern Washington ranks 104th out of 125 FCS schools against the run and 85th defending the pass.Their overall athleticism and playmaking ability really stood out, Baldwin said. They make plays downfield, on special teams and their return units. They are athletes and they are aggressive too. There is an explosiveness to their football team that will make it tough on us.A prolific offense has helped the Eagles overcome their defensive shortcomings, however, as theyve outscored opponent 229-124 to go 5-0 on the red turf of Roos Field this season.This will be the first meeting between these programs, and the winner moves on to the quarterfinals to face either 12th-ranked Richmond or No. 8 North Dakota, which shared the Big Sky crown with EWU.
