With a 3-1 win over Guatemala, the Gonzalo Segares-coached USA clinched a berth at the 2027 U-20 World Cup and advanced to the semifinals of the 2026 Concacaf U-20 Championship.
Guatemala took command of the first half on Tuesday in Puebla, Mexico and jumped ahead in the 36th minute lead when Marvin Ávila‘s cross struck the crossbar and Oscar de León converted the rebound — the first goal the Americans conceded in the tournament.
