The United States U-20 national team now knows who stands in the way of a World Cup berth: El Salvador.
The two will face off Saturday (5 pm ET, Fox Soccer Plus) at the Montego Bay Sports Complex to determine which team advances to the U-20 World Cup in New Zealand starting in May.
Following Honduras’ 3-2 win over Canada and El Salvador’s 2-0 win over Cuba on Thursday, Honduras grabbed second place in Group B and the No. 2 playoff seed, with El Salvador taking third place and the No. 4 seed. The US had already wrapped second place in Group A and the No. 1 seed, following their 1-0 victory Wednesday over Trinidad & Tobago, meaning they will now face El Salvador.
Honduras and Guatemala will face off in the other playoff, also to be played on Saturday. Panama (Group A) and Mexico (Group B) clinched the top spots in their respective groups and berths in the World Cup; they'll face off Saturday for the tournament championship.
