USYNT suffer cruel heartbreak in U17 World Cup as Germany score late winner to progress to quarter-finals

Charles Kwablan Herrmann handed Germany the lead in the 13th minute before Columbus Crew midfielder Taha Habroune netted the equaliser. Max Moerstedt then restored his team's lead with a strike in the 33rd minute which allowed the Germans to head into the break with a narrow 2-1 lead.Philadelphia Union winger David Vazquez once again brought the USYNT back in the game with an 80th-minute goal, but in the end, it was Yalcinkaya's 86th minute effort that made the difference and sent Germany to the next round.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The U.S. U17s were placed in Group E alongside France, Burkina Faso and South Korea. Gonzalo Segares' boys bagged two wins out of three matches and qualified for the knockout stage, finishing second behind France with six points. Their only defeat in the group came in the form of a 3-0 reversal against France. Crown Legacy winger Nimfasha Berchimas was the team's top scorer in the tournament with three goals to his name, but he was powerless to prevent them from exiting the competition at the hands of Germany.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The USYNT's highest-ever finish at the U17 World Cup was in the year 1999, when they came fourth. They have reached the quarter-finals five times in their history and were eliminated from the group in the last edition of the tournament in 2019.
