The FC Dallas U-18s needed a big result on Sunday in Guadalajara and they got one defeating CF Monterrey 1-0 on a penalty kick goal from Devin Vega with 15 minutes left in the match.
After falling 2-1 to Club Tijuana in match one, the U-18s responded with a strong performance that leaves them needing at least a win from their final two matches to advance to the quarterfinals. They continue group play against Cruzeiro of Brazil tomorrow at noon before wrapping up on Tuesday against Benfica of Portugal also at noon. The match against Benifca will be streamed live online.
Currently Tijuana and Monterrey are tied at the top of the group with 4 points while FC Dallas is third with 3 points and Benfica/Cruzeiro are tied for fourth with 2 points.
