U-20 USMNT finish their run at U-20 FIFA World Cup

The U-20 USMNT's run in the U-20 FIFA World Cup ended Sunday morning, as the US fell to Venezuela 2-1 in extra time in the tournament's quarterfinals.

The two teams played a scoreless first 90 minutes, but it wasn't without some high drama. USMNT keeper Jonathan Klinsmann made big saves to keep the match scoreless, while the US scored the first goal of the match, but was correctly called offside by the Video Assistant Referee. The two sides exchanged chances through the first 90, but needed extra time to settle the match.

In the 96th minute, Venezuela scored its first goal of the match, and then added a second 116th minute.
