Goals from Aboubacar Camara and Axel Picazo got the Philadelphia Union U17s off to a good start in the Generation adidas Cup finals in Frisco, Texas on Friday night.
Picazo set up Camara for a tap-in on the first goal and then scored one of his own after taking a pass from Julian Anderson and beating two defenders to double the Union advantage over a U17 squad from Club Tijuana, according to tweets from the Philadelphia Union Youth feed.
Montreal Impact beat Colorado Rapids 2-1 in the other Group B match on Friday.
