"The United States clinched a spot in the knockout round of the U20 World Cup with a stunning 3-0 win over France in Chile on Thursday. A flurry of late -- and deserved -- goals from Zavier Gozo, Brooklyn Raines and Marcos Zambrano-Delgado put Marko Mitrovic's side on six points after two games following a record 9-1 win over New Caledonia on Monday."
"Westfield had another great chance to put the U.S. in front just after the 80-minute mark, but he blazed over the crossbar from close range after brining down a deft ball over the French defense from Joshua Wynder. The goal that seemed like it would come finally did in the 85th minute when Gozo headed in a fine cross from Luke Brennan."
