A trio of men’s youth teams were in action on Wednesday. Two were in action in Europe (U19 and U17) while the Under-20s competed in Mexico.

Here’s a roundup of the action below.

U17s fall against Slovakia

Playing at the Vaclav Jezek Tournament against Under-18 squads, the U.S. Under-17s fell 1-0 in the opener against Slovakia.

The U.S. played well versus the older competition, and Paulo Rudisill had the best chance in the first half. After a well worked move, he flashed a shot just wide of the power.

Slovakia headed home the game’s only goal in the first half to secure the win.
