CONCACAF: U.S. U17 MNT 3, Haiti 0
When it comes to CONCACAF qualifying tournaments, it’s all about getting the results.
That’s exactly what the U.S. Under-17 men’s national team accomplished Sunday, opening up World Cup qualifying with a 3-0 win over Haiti. Midfielder Christopher Lema scored a pair of goals, and forward Ahinga Selemani bagged a late tally to round out the scoring on the day.
