US U-17s Thrash Mexico 4-1
Since we mentioned part one of yesterdays double-header in an earlier post (the US U-17s played Mexico in Tampa before the National Team took the field), we thought it’d be appropriate to follow up. Looks like our boys put together a strong performance against our rivals from the south. Kellen Gulley opened scoring on a 1-v-1 with the keeper. A Mexican defender played a soft back-pass, Gulley pounced, and punished. Alejandro Guido later doubled the lead on a penalty. In the second half, Mexico were able to climb back into the game on a Jorge Espericueta penalty, but were soon put back in their place by another opportunistic goal by Gulley. The final goal was scored by Takuya Okada from the edge of the box, giving the Americans their convincing 4-1 victory.
Congrats, Young Nats! Hope to be reading your names more in the future!
