Goals from Andrew Carleton and Christian Cappis ensured a successful final day at the Pinatar Arena Football Festival for the U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team.

The U20s defeated Japan by a 2-1 score in Monday's final game, with Cappis scoring for the second game in a row. It's a big boost for the Hobro IK midfielder as he looks to stake a claim on a World Cup roster spot. Per a Spanish reporter in attendance, Cappis "put on an exhibition" in the game against Japan.
