Derrick Jones starts, United States wins key match in U20 World Cup

Philadelphia Union midfielder Derrick Jones had another solid outing, helping the United States U20 earn a critical three points and a clean sheet against a tournament favorite on Thursday morning in South Korea.

Josh Sargent, the 17-year-old phenom from St. Louis, put the United States on the board in the first half with his third goal of the tournament. New York Red Bulls midfielder Tyler Adams was seemingly everywhere for the U.S. while Jones and the center back pairing of captain Erik Palmer-Brown and Cameron Carter-Vickers did well to cut down Senegal’s chances.
