USA vs New Zealand score, highlights as US dominate and win big, advance to U20 World Cup quarterfinals
For a while it felt as if the United States would again have troubles getting the goals they deserved, but ultimately they brushed New Zealand aside, advancing to the quarterfinals of the U-20 World Cup by a dominant 4-0 scoreline.
Owen Wolff, Cade Cowell, Justin Che, and Rokas Pukstas provided the all-important goals, giving the U.S. the punch they deserved as they picked the New Zealand defense apart all game long. The Oceania side provided very little resistance outside of a pair of counter-attacks which came to nothing, and they had no answer for the relentless U.S. attack.
The first half was possessionally dominant for the United States, but aside from Owen Wolff's fortunate opener, they had little else to show for it. However, after the break, they put New Zealand to the sword, slashing and combining to create a host of chances, and proving vicious in front of goal.
While the four goal scorers will get the headlines, the best U.S. player on the afternoon was Diego Luna whose skill and speed created a multitude of chances, sending New Zealand defenders flying in confusion throughout the match.
Most importantly, the United States maintained its perfect record, securing a fourth win in four matches. In doing so, the CONCACAF side also maintained its perfect defensive record, the only side left in the tournament yet to concede a goal throughout the competition thus far.
With the win, the U.S. moves on to the quarterfinals where they will meet either Uruguay or The Gambia on June 4. Those two will play their Round of 16 match on Thursday, June 1 with the South American side heavily favored.

4 - The @USYNT is the fourth team to reach at least the quarterfinals in four consecutive editions of the FIFA U20 World Cup after Argentina (2001-07), Brazil (13 straight from 1981-2005) and Uruguay (1977-83). Progression. pic.twitter.com/5JaeQRw6Yn
Starting lineups:
USA (3-4-3, right to left): 1. Slonina (GK) — 17. Che, 5. Craig, 4. Wynder — 13. Gomez, 8. McGlynn (Vargas, 70'), 6. Edelman, 10. Luna, 3. Wiley (Halliday, 70') — 10. Luna (Tsarkis, 79'), 9. Cowell (Paredes, 83'), 16. Wolff (Pukstas, 79').
New Zealand (4-3-3, right to left): 1. Sims (GK) — 14. Linder (Raj, 50'), 4. Hughes, 5. Surman, 20. L. Kelly-Heald — 18. Wallace (Fay, 79'), 16. McKay (Karunaratne, 66'), 6. Conchie — 9. Colloty (Donkers, 79'), 10. Herdman, 11. Garbett.
With his third goal in three games, U.S. forward Cade Cowell is now very much in the hunt for the top goal scorer award at the 2023 U-20 World Cup.
His three goals put him just one behind the leader, Cesare Casadei of Italy, whose pair of braces have him in the lead. Four others, including three South Americans, also sit on three goals, while the fourth, Frenchman Alan Virginius, is out of the tournament.
Cowell was exceptional against New Zealand, combining expertly with Diego Luna in the final third as Mikey Varas chose again to play without a true central striker. That put Cowell in prime position to provide the goal scoring threat, and he delivered alongside his three teammates also on the scoresheet in the 4-0 win.
This has actually been Cade Cowell's best performance in the U-20 World Cup.🇺🇸 2-0 🇳🇿
While Cowell's goals will surely have him in the spotlight, the best player on the pitch in this match was unquestionably Diego Luna, who deserved a goal for his efforts but just couldn't collect.
Luna's silky smooth skill was on full display, sending New Zealand defenders flying left and right as he cut onto each foot in the buildup, and his pure counter-attack speed helped create the fourth and final U.S. goal.
As Mikey Varas continues to play this tournament without a central striker, choosing to stick Darren Yapi on the bench and go with three fluid attackers up front, Diego Luna is thriving in a central role behind whoever has ventured forward into that top spot.

The United States is the only team left in the tournament yet to concede a single goal, and to this point they've played a game more than everyone else.
Brandan Craig is quickly becoming a wanted man, generating transfer rumors across Europe with his impressive play, and both Josh Wynder and Justin Che have also looked unbeatable. New Zealand offered very little throughout this match, but as they pressed forward in the final 10 minutes searching for a consolation, there was simply no way through the U.S. back line.
Give captain Dan Edelman credit as well, as he man's the No. 6 role brilliantly and closes down the middle of the pitch, but it's been the central defenders who have been at the heart of the shutout streak. Gaga Slonina has been there when required, but in total he's been called upon very little.
As they have so many times already this tournament, the United States wore their opponent out through the first 45 minutes before emphatically putting them to bed after halftime.
The U.S. completely controlled the match from start to finish, and New Zealand had little to offer in return. While it felt for a while that the U.S. might not capitalize on their dominance, the flurry of chances after the hour mark made sure that was not the final narrative.
We keep building. 📈Our @FIFAWorldCup journey continues as the #U20MYNT kicks off the knockout stage today! pic.twitter.com/Rbq5pT9MNk
90+9 min: Kevin Paredes goes marauding through the New Zealand penalty area and goes down under pressure, but the referee waves play on. Down the other end, with Paredes down in the penalty area, Justin Che does extremely well to end a one-on-one chance with a pinpoint tackle needed to keep New Zealand from having an open hit on Gaga Slonina's net.
90+4 min: Gaga Slonina is down after colliding with Dan Edelman in a free-kick scrum, and the stretcher is brought out quickly, but he appears to be ok to continue after some attention.
90+1 min: Inexplicably, nine added minutes are shown by the fourth official, despite there being very little stoppage in this half; certainly no VAR reviews or lengthy injuries that would have seen it significantly increase. New Zealand have been pressing for a consolation since the last U.S. goal, but have been unable to unlock this stout U.S. back line.
81st min: GOAL! USA! Rokas Pukstas scores just moments after entering for the first time this tournament! It's a towering header at the far post by Pukstas, meeting a Brandan Craig free-kick and thumping it home. Pukstas has only just joined the squad for the knockout stage, held back until now by his club Hajduk Split, but he's made his mark already.
After the goal, Kevin Paredes, who also just joined the squad, also comes on for the final few minutes, replacing Cade Cowell, who was electric throughout.
Rokas Pukstas subs on for the @USYNT and makes his presence known IMMEDIATELY with a powerful header! 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/MdBc3vFyip
79th min: Minutes after playing an integral part in the third goal, Diego Luna is removed as expected, alongside Owen Wolff, with Niko Tsarkis and Rokas Pukstas coming on. Luna is on a yellow card suspension so it's sensible from Mikey Varas, even if he deserves a goal.
New Zealand reply with two of their own, as Kian Donkers and Oliver Fay enter, replacing Oliver Colloty and Ben Wallace.
75th min: GOAL! USA! Justin Che puts the game to bed! Coming on a blistering counter-attack from a New Zealand corner, it was a bit messier than needed, but Che provides the finishing touch in the end! Diego Luna sprang the break with lightning speed, feeding Cade Cowell in free on goal.
Cowell rounded the goalkeeper but found himself at too tight an angle, so he squared to Luna on the doorstep. His redirect was blocked on the goal line, but Che dispossessed a defender to snatch it back and thunder it home. It's all over, folks!
JUSTIN CHE MAKES IT THREE 👌What a build up and what a finish for the @USYNT 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/8qwMfdTyEg
70th min: Diego Luna and Cade Cowell are picking this New Zealand defense apart. Cowell cuts inside from the left and shoots from distance, but it goes just wide.
Mikey Varas makes a pair of substitutions, his first of the match, as Jack McGlynn and Caleb Wiley are withdrawn, replaced by Michael Halliday and Obed Vargas. It's a sensible change, as McGlynn is on a yellow card. It'll be likely that the other two, Luna and Josh Wynder, are brought off in short order.
64th min: Chance, USA! Diego Luna misses just inches wide with a chance to put the game to bed! He skips to his right at the top of the penalty area, sending Hughes flying by, but his cut shot drags just past the left post. Another unfortunate miss!
New Zealand readies a change, as Noah Karunaratne replaces Dan McKay in midfield.
61st min: GOAL! USA! Cade Cowell finishes the chance that went begging minutes earlier, and he gives the U.S. a massive second goal! It's all too easy for the USYNT on this occasion, as Diego Luna feeds horizontally to Cowell who was given way too much space by Lukas Kelly-Heald.
Cowell scores a goal in his third straight game, and the U.S. now have the doubled lead they've been deserving of for the better part of a half-hour.
HE'S CLINICAL 🇺🇸@SJEarthquakes' Cade Cowell tucks it away for the @USYNT and doubles the United States' lead! pic.twitter.com/x6I54WrS6K
59th min: Oh my, Cade Cowell absolutely shreds Finn Surman in the six-yard box, but his angle was too tight to shoot, and his square for a teammate in front of goal was behind its mark, and the chance fizzles out. Silky smooth moves, but it comes to nothing.
Go to goal there Cowell!!!!!!! Too unselfish.
56th min: Gaga Slonina is called into action as New Zealand produce their first counter-attack since the opening stages of the match, but it's too easy for the 18-year-old Chelsea man as a cross from Ben Wallace down the right ends up in his grasp.
52nd min: Another close shave for New Zealand as again Caleb Wiley causes problems down the left. He gets in acres of space and crosses for the head of Diego Luna, but Sims gets there first to parry the cross. He only pushes it into the path of Dan Edelman, but his blast goes fizzing over the crossbar harmlessly.
50th min: Chance, USA! How on earth has Jonathan Gomez missed?!?!?! Caleb Wiley is threaded through down the left edge of the penalty area, and there's plenty of space for a cross, which he picks out to the far post for Gomez. He gets his right foot to the ball but somehow, inexplicably, sends it skying over the bar and wide, despite being positioned mere inches from the goal goal at the far post. The U.S. continues to waste chances and hangs on to just the one goal lead.
In the aftermath, the injured Finn Linder is withdrawn, replaced by Aaryan Raj.
Jonathan Gomez comes this close to advancing the @USYNT lead to two! 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/TfEzTFumMx
49th min: The U.S. have started this second half where they left off, looking very dangerous in the final third but just unable to produce the final ball. Cade Cowell is a machine down the left, and Dan Edelman nearly works a one-two with Jonathan Gomez but it's cut out just before.
There's a substitution coming, as Finn Linder goes down holding his shoulder again, which is what he injured in the first half defending Cade Cowell. For now, New Zealand progress with 10 men.
Kickoff: They're under way for the second half in Argentina. The U.S. need to finish their chances to ensure their spot in the quarterfinal, but the burden is certainly on New Zealand to provide something up front, otherwise they will be heading out.
No substitutions for either side just yet as they begin play.
The United States completely dominated the opening 45 minutes, but could only muster one sloppy goal as the half ends with just a slim lead.
It's emblematic of their World Cup performances so far, dominating for large stretches but failing to capitalize on their host of chances. In fairness, it's not like the U.S. have had a number of glaring misses, as New Zealand defended well under waves of pressure, but it's not crazy to think that Mikey Varas will believe he should be entering the locker room with a much healthier lead.
The U.S. held 70 percent possession through that opening half, out-shooting New Zealand 11-3, but only able to put three of those shots on target. They'll again need to turn up the finishing in the second half, something they've managed to do a few times throughout this competition. Kevin Paredes could be ready to make his debut sooner rather than later.
The shot ➡️ the celebration#U20MYNT pic.twitter.com/fkvhd8SN3q
45+6 min: Chance, USA! As the stoppage time nears the end, Diego Luna holds off a strong challenge to carry the ball forward and thread through Caleb Wiley down the left. He looks to cross, but it's deflected out of play for a corner.
Jack McGlynn's delivery is cleared but only as far as Dan Edelman, whose hit from distance is stopped well by Keen Sims. The U.S. retain possession and a ball into the area nearly finds Josh Wynder but he can't put it on frame as he throws himself at it amidst heavy pressure. That's a big letoff for New Zealand as the first half comes to a close.
It seems to only be a matter of time for Joshua Wynder 😤 pic.twitter.com/40noeflKfc
45+1 min: As six minutes of stoppage time commence, Jonathan Gomez is thrown to the turf like a rag doll by Oliver Colloty, and somehow none of the officials spotted it, or it was deemed not to be illegal, so it goes unpunished. Gomez has been hacked on multiple occasions over the last few minutes, and has shown some frustration with the lenient officiating.
In truth, that's an embarrassing miss from the refereeing crew. If allowed to continue it could lead to some further aggression by both sides in the future.
Things are heating up on the pitch 🫢 pic.twitter.com/wc2Jj7ERQi
40th min: Chance, USA! Cade Cowell wins a one-on-one challenge with Finn Linder, which leaves the New Zealand defender down injured in the aftermath. Play is waved on, and Cowell takes the space afforded to him by the injury, and feeds into the middle where Jonathan Gomez tries to poke it on frame, but it skitters just inches wide of the far post!
Linder comes off after treatment holding his left shoulder, and New Zealand are forced to defend the corner with 10 men, but they manage to get it clear by winning a foul. Linder then re-enters the pitch.
Narrowly wide 👀The lead nearly doubles for the @USYNT pic.twitter.com/GvsuIs5xZc
34th min: Owen Wolff has a go from distance, which isn't far wide, looking for a second in the match.
Moments later, Wolff does excellently to carry the ball forward and draw no less than five defenders, and he lays it off to Cade Cowell who had acres of space to shoot from the left. Unfortunately Cowell takes too long to get his shot off, and the defense recovers to block. Jack McGlynn has a rip on the rebound, but it sails just inches over the crossbar.
Owen Wolff is itching for a brace 👀🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/mLd0sS1cgo
30th min: New Zealand head coach Darren Bazeley can be heard loudly instructing his side to be "more aggressive!" Sounds like he's hoping to assert some dominance in this match, as other than the two early counter-attack chances, New Zealand have had little to no influence on the game's flow so far.
26th min: The game has slowed a bit as the United States possesses the ball in their own half, trying to coax New Zealand out of their shape, with the opponent not acquiescing. As New Zealand sit back and invite the U.S. to come at them, Mikey Varas's side doesn't oblige, and there's a bit of a stalemate.
22nd min: Finn Surman makes a spectacular challenge on Cade Cowell who was steaming into the penalty area and readying to shoot from a dangerous position. That's a really high quality tackle from the New Zealand defender.
20th min: Chance, USA! It's off the crossbar! A cross from Jonathan Gomez making a vertical run clatters off Finn Surman, and smashes into the woodwork! That's close to disaster for New Zealand, but they escape unharmed.
14th min: GOAL! USA! The United States strike first, and it comes on a huge mistake by Kees Sims! Owen Wolff takes aim from distance and hits what amounts to a slow roller, but somehow it sneaks into the back of the net! Sims dove for it extremely early, and it's confusing how he couldn't reach that relatively tame effort! It may have taken a slight deflection on its way through, but not enough to be a real problem.
The U.S. will take it, and they have an early lead! Upon further review, it looks like Sims may have thought the ball was going wide, as it appears on replay like he almost pulled his hand back at the last moment to not concede a corner. If true, that would be a big mistake!
THERE IT IS!It's an ambitious effort from @AustinFC's Owen Wolff that opens the scoring for the @USYNT 👏 pic.twitter.com/ejW0ly7eet
12th min: Chance, New Zealand! A big save by Gaga Slonina!! The Oceania side break again on a dangerous counter, and Jay Herdman lets it rip from outside the box. Slonina gets down to his right to stop the low fizzed effort, and he touches it just wide. That was close!
MASSIVE SAVE! @GabrielSlonina🎥 » @FOXSoccerpic.twitter.com/mhSB6fjTC8
11th min: A U.S. corner forces a stop from Kees Sims, but it's an elementary one, as he collects from an acrobatic effort by Josh Wynder. It looked cool, but it was all too easy for the New Zealand goalkeeper.
OH MY 😱What would have been by Joshua Wynder! 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/WxnYFepk3H
6th min: Well now, play is stopped for a VAR check for a possible penalty for hand ball. It's unclear exactly what happened, but it seems to be stemming from the previous New Zealand chance.
It was a very lengthy check, with a good three-minute stoppage, but eventually the check is complete and play continues without any further action taken. A nervy moment for the United States.
5th min: New Zealand have a chance to counter-attack, and they build nicely into a dangerous position, but Garbett's one-time finish at the top of the six-yard area is blocked critically by Jonathan Gomez, and the ball loops harmlessly into Gaga Slonina's grasp. That was close, and will serve as a warning shot for the United States.
The @USYNT GK @GabrielSlonina is there to ease all the tension in the box! 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/0EMtu2KMH6
3rd min: The United States has most of the early possession, but haven't managed to do much with it yet. A free-kick from about 35 or 40 yards out taken by Jack McGlynn was cleared by the New Zealand defense.
Kickoff: They're under way in Mendoza, Argentina! It's win or go home from here on out at the 2023 U-20 FIFA World Cup, and the winner of this match will take on either Uruguay or Gambia in the quarterfinals.
10 mins to kickoff: If the U.S. will be looking for inspiration today as the match is nearly set to begin, they only need to look four years ago today, when Erling Haaland scored nine goals in a U-20 World Cup match for Norway. This is the tournament where stars are born!

20 mins to kickoff: Finally we have access to the New Zealand lineup, and there's a host of changes from the heavy defeat to Argentina in their group stage finale.
Notably, Canada head coach John Herdman's son Jay Herdman starts in midfield, and will pull the strings in the attack for New Zealand. His introduction is one of five changes to the lineup from the previous match.

30 mins to kickoff: The U.S. played all three group stage matches at Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario in San Juan, Argentina, but have trekked about five hours south to Mendoza for this Round of 16 match.
The new venue is Estadio Malvinas Argentinas which opened in 1978 and has a capacity of around 42,000. It is the regular home of Argentine Primera Division club Godoy Cruz, who finished 15th in the 28-team top flight table last season and sit 11th this year. It looks quite sunny there today!
The winner of today's match will make a long, 1,000 km trip north to Santiago del Estero where their quarterfinal match will be held, up against the winner of Uruguay or Gambia.

45 mins to kickoff: While we gear up for the U.S. kids to contest the U-20 World Cup quarterfinals, the senior side made a significant change, as interim head coach Anthony Hudson departed for a new job and U.S. Soccer replaced him with BJ Callaghan. Hudson was extremely proficient at successfully integrating a number of young players and dual nationals into the program during his six months at the helm.

1 hour to kickoff: The lineups are in, and Kevin Paredes does not start for the U.S. Instead, it's a familiar front line of Cade Cowell, Owen Wolff, and Diego Luna, who will again play with a False 9 in the absence of a striker. They will be situated in a 3-4-3 formation that worked against Ecuador in the opening group stage match.

1 hour 15 mins to kickoff: One thing nobody can criticize about the U.S. U-20 side through group stage play is the defense. The back line, anchored by the aforementioned Brandan Craig, didn't concede a single goal through the three group stage matches.
With Josh Wynder and Marcus Ferkranus rotating at the other center-back spot, they did not concede many high quality chances to any of their previous opponents. The full-backs were also exceptional defending out wide, as Jonathan Gomez, Caleb Wiley, Michael Halliday, and Justin Che all found ways to track back despite providing varying degrees of attacking contributions.
It was a resounding success through group stage play, and as the opponents get tougher, they will need to ramp it up even more.

1 hour 30 mins to kickoff: One reason to think Kevin Paredes will slot straight into the U.S. attack is that overall, the forward line was wasteful throughout the group stage. They struggled to finish chances throughout the opening three matches, especially coming up short against Fiji who they should have beaten by much more thank three goals, putting them at potential risk of not finishing top of the group had the Slovakia game gone poorly.
Tough to criticize a team that goes 3/3 in group play with zero goals against, but this #USYNT has been pretty wasteful in front of goal.They get that sorted and they’re a massive problem for anyone in this tournament.Overall very positive play from Mikey Varas’ team.
1 hour 45 mins to kickoff: The U.S. gets its final two participants as Kevin Paredes and Rokas Pukstas join the squad after completing their European club duties for the season. Paredes in particular is a key addition, considering the U.S. attack has done enough but hasn't exactly been overwhelming.
Head coach Mikey Varas was non-committal on how much they would play against New Zealand, but it would be surprising not to see Paredes in the starting lineup. He only played limited minutes for Wolfsburg down the stretch of the season, so travel aside, he'll be rested and ready to contribute.

2 hours to kickoff: USA center-back Brandan Craig, who is a Philadelphia Union youth product, has been one of the best performers for the United States at the tournament so far. He's getting buzz abroad having previously been on trial with Liverpool. He joined Box 2 Box, a CBS Sports Golazo show, and told them how much he wanted to play in Europe. Would Liverpool give him a look?

For the first time all tournament, the United States will have its full complement of players available as they begin knockout stage play. Kevin Paredes and Rokas Puktas are joining the squad, able to link up after being released by their club sides for the knockout stage, however neither was slotted straight into the starting lineup.
No players earned yellow card suspensions in the final group stage game, but Jack McGlynn, Diego Luna, and Josh Wynder would all be forced to sit out a potential quarterfinal if they are booked in this match.
USA confirmed starting lineup (3-4-3): Slonina (GK) — Che, Craig, Wynder — Gomez, McGlynn, Edelman, Luna, Wiley — Wolff, Cowell, Luna.
USA subs (10): Carrera (GK), Borto (GK), Ferkranus, Halliday, Vargas, Pukstas, Tsakiris, Sullivan, Paredes, Yapi.
An 80th-minute winner by Norman Garbett in their opener against Guatemala gave New Zealand three of their four group stage points, and went a long way towards helping them secure a knockout stage spot. The son of Canada men's senior head coach John Herdman, Jay Herdman, is on the squad, and scored a Goal of the Tournament candidate in the 2-2 draw with Uzbekistan in the second match.
Interestingly, two players on the roster, including starting goalkeeper Kees Sims, play for Swedish third tier side Ljungskile SK, which all feels a bit random, as they are two of just five total players on the roster playing their club ball in Europe.
New Zealand confirmed starting lineup (4-3-3): Sims (GK) — Linder, Hughes, Surman, L. Kelly-Heald — Wallace, McKay, Conchie — Colloty, Herdman, Garbett.
New Zealand subs (10): A. Kelly-Heald (GK), Gray (GK), Karunate, Fay, Jarvie, Supyk, O'Leary, Raj, Manuel, Donkers.
This match between the United States and New Zealand in the Round of 16 at the 2023 U20 FIFA World Cup will take place on Tuesday in Argentina.
Kickoff from the 42,000 seat arena Estadio Malvinas Argentinas will be at 2:30 p.m. local time in Mendoza, which translates to 1:30 p.m. ET in the United States, or 10:30 a.m. PT.
The tournament is televised in the U.S. by Fox Sports (English) and Universo (Spanish), with both channels available to stream on Fubo, which is available on a free trial for new users.
