While his teammates were getting ready for their season opener in Vancouver Sunday night, Philadelphia Union defender Auston Trusty and his United States U20 countrymen were hoisting a trophy in Costa Rica after defeating Honduras 5-3 in a penalty shootout.
Trusty made his second appearance in the competition when he replaced Real Salt Lake defender Justen Glad in the 47th minute. The Media native started at left back in their win over El Salvador on Friday.
The title was the first for the United States at the U20 level after coming up short in finals on four previous occasions.
