The United States U-20 Men’s National Team claimed their first ever CONCACAF U-20 Championship on Sunday, winning in an exciting penalty shootout against Honduras.

After a scoreless 90 minutes of play, the CONCACAF U-20 Championship game went to penalty kicks to decide the champion. The shootout went to the fifth round as Danny Acosta successful converted his attempt to win the U.S their first ever title at the competition.

In the first half, the U.S looked the better side as two big opportunities came their way. The first came in the ninth minute when Justen Glad’s header was saved well by Honduras goalkeeper Javier Delgado. The Honduran goalkeeper would make another fantastic save in the 27th minute when Brooks Lennon unleashed a powerful shot off of a free kick.

The second half failed to produce any goals as well, as the two sides seemed destined for penalties.

It was a deadlock for most of the shootout as calmed nerves were evident on the both teams. However, Honduras were the first to miss in the fourth round of penalties as the attempt was skied over the net. This set up Acosta’s moment as the Real Salt Lake player dispatched the ball into the left side of the net.

Several U.S players were honored at the end of the match. Goalkeeper Jonathan Klinsmann was awarded the Golden Glove as the tournament’s best keeper. Defender Erik Palmer-Brown received the Golden Ball as the best player of the competition.

After losing their opening match to Panama, the U.S won their last five games of the tournament. They had two clean sheets and scored 11 goals throughout the competition.

The USWNT U-20 side will now look ahead to the FIFA U-20 World Cup, which begins in May in South Korea. They will learn their fate in the group stage on March 15th when the tournament draw takes place.
