Fire Academy GK Damian Las, U.S. U-17s cruise past Guadeloupe in Concacaf Championship Round of 16

The US Under-17 national team brushed aside Guadeloupe in the Concacaf Championship Round of 16, storming into the quarterfinals for a chance to clinch a berth in the 2019 Under-17 FIFA World Cup.

Chicago Fire Academy goalkeeper Damian Las got the start in net -- his third start of the competition -- and helped the young U.S. side cruise to an 8-0 victory on Thursday at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

The US U-17s next face Panama in the quarterfinals on Sunday (1 pm CT on Concacaf Facebook and Univision Deportes) for one of four berths at stake.
