_Sub-20: EUA conquistam CONCACAF com vitória suada sobre o Canadá


The United States scored twice in the final 11 minutes to post a 2-1 victory over Canada in the final of the CONCACAF women's under-20 championship in Ciudad de Panama, Panama.

Jenna Richardson had given Canada a 1-0 lead just five minutes into the match after picking off a pass and beating U.S. goalkeeper Bryane Heaberlin.

Canada withstood the pressure until the 79th minute when Maya Hayes fired home the equalizer for her team-leading fifth goal. Second-half substitute Kealia Ohai fired a cross to Hayes and she right-footed a low shot past Canadian goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo.

Chioma Ubogagu then secured the gold medal in the 90th minute after Ohai's cross at the top of the goalbox was blocked by Canadian defender Kylie Davis, causing the ball to fall in front of Ubogagu.

Sunday's final was the fourth time Canada and the U.S. have played for gold at the biennial event since 2004, with each country winning twice.

Both countries had already qualified for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan. Mexico earned the other berth at the event, being held Aug. 19 to Sept. 8.

_Sub-20: Canadá e EUA qualificam-se para o Mundial

Resumo do Jogo

The victory was the most lopsided win for Canada in the tournament, eclipsing the 5-0 win over Haiti in its opener. It was the second straight 6-0 loss for Panama, which was beaten by the United States in their Group B finale on Tuesday.



The United States qualified for the U-20 Women's World Cup for the sixth straight time, beating Mexico 4-0 on Friday in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Under-20 Women's Championship.

Julie Johnston, Morgan Brian and Lindsey Horan all tallied first-half goals, and Kealia Ohai added an impressive 81st-minute strike to send the United States to a comfortable win and a Sunday final against either Canada or Panama.

Mexico will have another chance to qualify for a fourth straight World Cup and fifth overall when it faces the loser from Friday's second semifinal between Canada and Panama in Sunday's third-place game immediately before the championship match.
