Chicago Fire Academy goalkeeper Damian Las, U.S. U-17 MNT finish second at Nike International Friendlies

Chicago Fire Academy goalkeeper Damian Las was in net for the U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team for it's final matchup of the 2018 Nike Friendlies on Sunday night, a 1-1 draw with Brazil.

Making his second start in the tournament's three matches, Las was credited with several big stops to help the Americans secure a point and lock up a second-place finish in this year's event. In the sixth minute, Las denied Brazil's first big scoring opportunity by getting his hands on a Gabriel Silva attempt from close range and deflecting it over the bar to keep things scoreless.
