This Thursday, May 25, 2017 (4:00 AM Pacific) Senegal will play the United States in the U20 World Cup at the Incheon Stadium in Incheon, South Korea.
Facing a tough test against a strong Senegal side, the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team came out on top with a 1-0 victory courtesy of Josh Sargent's goal in the 34th minute.
The final matches in the pool will be played on Sunday when Senegal take on Ecuador and the U.S. face-off against the Saudis.
The win puts the United States of America top of Group F with four points after two games.
Tyler Adams had the first real chance of note after half an hour when Sargent slipped the ball through to him 12 yards out, but Mouhamed Mbaye was on hand to deny the 18-year-old.
Senegal made a better start to the second half than they did the first, though, and they caused US centre-back duo Cameron Carter-Vickers and Erik Palmer-Brown problems with some high pressing.
Jonathan Klinsmann recorded the clean sheet as he had a much better outing compared to the opening match against Ecuador. Luca de la Torre produced another good outing as he collected the assist on Sargent's goal.
In the group's other game, Saudi Arabia beat Ecuador 2-1 to take all three point and move into third place.
Tab Ramos' side will next face Saudi Arabia in Daejeon in the last group matchday. The African team did also pick up four yellow cards in that match and will need to play with more caution in this game. They will win the group with a win and will finish either in first or second with a draw.
