The three-team tournament saw the U-18 Men’s National Team fall to Uruguay on Saturday and draw against Czech Republic Monday afternoon 1-1. The winner will be decided by overall points with tiebreakers being decided by goal differential then total goals scored. Uruguay plays Czech Republic on Wednesday in the final game of the tournament.
