After a disastrous start to their U20 World Cup qualifying campaign on Saturday, the United States U20 team will look to rebound against a team it is expected to and will have to beat to keep its hopes of advancing alive.
The U.S. will be without starting midfielder Tyler Adams, who was injured in Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Panama on a harsh challenge early in the 18th minute. The U.S. played a man up for the final 72 minutes after the play that deservedly earned Justin Simons a straight red, but were unable to capitalize, conceding the lone goal to Iowa Western Community College forward Leandro Ávila in the 37th minute of a dispiriting loss.
