U.S. blanks Canadian men 2-0 in CONCACAF Men’s Under-17 Championship semis
Micah Burton’s spectacular free kick and substitute Keyrol Figueroa’s late strike lifted the U.S. to a 2-0 victory over Canada in semi-final play Friday at the CONCACAF Men’s Under-17 Championship.
The tournament was still a success for Canada , with qualification for the FIFA U-17 World Cup secured by virtue of making the final four. Both losses came to the U.S., which won 1-0 when they met Feb. 15 in group play. Canadian coach Andrew Olivieri made four changes to his starting 11, including a first start for O’Brien in goal. Defender Lazar Stefanovic, like O’Brien part of the TFC academy, captained Canada.
Burton shot just wide in the 72nd from an acute angle. And he came close in the 77th, sending another free kick just over the Canadian crossbar.All but three members of the Canadian roster at the tournament come from the academies of the three Canadian MLS teams. The Canadians downed Haiti 3-0 in round-of-16 play and Puerto Rico 3-0 in the quarter-final. The Americans blanked the Dominican Republic 7-0 before defeating host Guatemala 5-3 in knockout play.
The U.S., which has qualified for a record 18 U-17 World Cups, is after its first CONCACAF U-17 title since 2011. Canada finished runner-up that year, its best finish at the CONCACAF tournament.
