United States vs Haiti | 2026 Concacaf Men's Under | 20 Championship

...favorites and one of the region's rising programs meet in Mexico. It's the United States and Haiti. The United States, one of the top two seeds coming into this tournament. Ready to kick things off in Puebla. And we are rolling between the United States and Haiti. Mexico, the defending champs. Here come the U.S., breaking lines well to the edge of the area. And it's off the underside of the bar. Second ball is blocked. Thinking about shooting, Guske clips it instead. Far side, open man, and they score. Klepea, who had clipped the underside of the bar about 15 minutes ago, buried it in the top corner this time. Left foot, it's a crucial block. It's still alive and blocked through again. And Bray is sprawling down. He makes the save. There were big shouts for a penalty from the U.S. It's not given by the referee. Yes, and they have summoned referee Michael Venne to the monitor. Actually hit him from that previous angle. It was tough to tell whether it actually hit the arm. I have to say, I don't think he's going to give a penalty for any of these. After VAR review, no penalty. So what a first half we had. Tons going on. Just the one goal in it in the ends. Well, it's on the left side as well. The second half back underway. Wanted it and got it. And his cutback is going to fall for Dylan Venne. It's off the line. They shout for handball. It's going to be given. It's going to be a red card. Now up a man, up a goal. Ruben Ramos scores. Clear daylight under the lights in Puebla. 2-0 to the U.S. Return it out of the edge of the area. It's Klapija laying it along. Contreras with a big chance. And then Berchimas just overran the rebound by a fingertip save from Bray. And then Berchimas sniffing for the rebound. Just went for it with the wrong hand. Berchimas trying to hook this ball down as he presses. And now Contreras wins it back. Contreras stepping around the defender, going down. Penalty for the United States. Santi Morales, the hop skip. The same move he pulled against Club America earlier this year. And it works again, this time for the United States. Well, he grew up in a professional environment with his father, playing so many games for Rail Salt Lake. And in fact, now coaching him at Inter-Miami. They can be exciting and fun to watch. But it didn't quite happen for them tonight. The United States finding the moments, finding the goals. One in the first half, two in the second.
