United States bounced from U-20 World Cup following poor showing in quarterfinal loss to Uruguay

The Americans conceded their first goals of the cup and were sent packing

The United States are out of the U-20 World Cup following a 2-0 loss to Uruguay on Sunday, ending an impressive run to the quarterfinals. The South American side where playing undermanned after a suspension to Luciano Rodriguez but that wouldn't stop them from breaching the United States' defense for the first time during the tournament going ahead in the 21st minute. A United States defense which had gone 360 minutes without conceding a goal looked out of their depth allowing Anderson Durate to slip in behind to put Uruguay ahead 21 minutes in. 

Head coach Mickey Varas tried to jolt the attack after the half introducing Kevin Paredes for Owen Wolff but it wasn't enough as Uruguay would double their lead in the 56th minute, this time following an own goal from defender Joshua Wynder. The victory will see Uruguay and Israel square off for a place in the World Cup final while the road will end for the United States following a successful World Cup that ends with disappointment.

For the Baby Yanks, Uruguay were their toughest test of the tournament so far and to see them comprehensively outclassed during the match is a disappointment but the team also can't hang their heads after advancing to this point with key players like Paxten Aaronson not in the squad due to club commitments.
