Danny Leyva, Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez combine on goal for USA U17s

Although neither player started, Danny Leyva and Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez both managed to get onto the scoresheet as the United States U17 team dispatched Guatemala 3-0 on Monday and secure the top spot in their World Cup qualifying group.

In the 86th minute, Leyva picked off an attempted clearance and immediately dribbled into the attack. He worked a give-and-go with Gilbert Fuentes, then created some space with a nice cutback before sending in a cross. Ocampo-Chavez was able to beat his man to the header.

It was Leyva’s first assist in the tournament and his first assist at the U17 level.
