USMYNT top Columbia

Competing in an Under-22 competition, the U.S. defeated Columbia by a 2-0 score, finishing in second place in Group B and advancing to the semifinals.

Substitute Rodrigo Neri and forward Tega Ikoba supplied both of the goals as the U.S. bounced back from an opening stage defeat against Brazil to advance.
