KADUNA, Nigeria (Nov. 4, 2009) The U.S. U-17 Men?s National Team was defeated 2-1 by Italy today in Kaduna, Nigera, in the Round of 16 of the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup, eliminating them from the tournament.
Italy opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a strike from Giacomo Beretta after a missed penalty by Jack McInerney in the 16th minute. The second half saw the U.S. draw level after Nick Palodichuk converted a Luis Gil corner, but Pietro Iemello?s strike from the top of the box in the 56th minute would prove to be the winner.
The U.S. leaves the World Cup with a 2-2-0 record playing at three different venues across Nigeria. The team recorded two shutouts and head coach Wilmer Cabrera used all 18 field players during the course of the tournament.
?We created a lot of chances, we had more possession tonight than against any other team that we played, but we couldn?t find a way to finish our chances,? said Cabrera. ?So, now we have to leave the tournament and I leave the tournament proud of my kids because they respect the game every time.?
