(Future) Bulls Abroad: Mexico closes out 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship Group Stage with 1-0 win over Honduras

The final match of Group A of the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship was a play-off between the group's two Classification Stage qualifiers. Both Honduras and Mexico had won their two preceding games, but only one could win the group.

Honduras had its chances, perhaps most notably a 27-minute penalty - which was saved. In the end, Mexico prevailed thanks to a 67th-minute goal from the tournament's leading scorer. Santos Laguna prospect Ronaldo Cisneros scored his fifth goal of the Championship, but it was an impressive team effort: El Tri played a little headers-and-volleys off a corner, taking four touches to keep the ball moving around the box in the air before Cisneros applied the finish.
