The USA U-20 Men's National Team dodged the potential humiliation of a first round exit from the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship with a seven-minute scoring spree that delivered a 4-1 win over Haiti.
A must-win game for the US started badly. Kenley Dede scored in the 15th minute, and 1-0 to Haiti was a scoreline that would see the Americans eliminated. Brooks Lennon converted a penalty before the match reached its half-hour mark to tie the game, but 1-1 wasn't that much better for the US.
For the second half, the USA's task was clear: score more goals.
