USMNT: U-20 Team defeats Senegal

Only one goal was needed to win a match that featured a lack of premium scoring chances as the U.S. took a 1-0 victory against Senegal in the second match of the group phase for both sides.

Josh Sargent scored what proved to be the match-winning goal in the 34th minute as he slotted home a shot after a nice turn towards goal. Thus far, the 17-year-old has scored three goals in the tournament.

Senegal had chances to level in the second half but was wasteful.
