Omar Salgado celebrates his opening goal.
Goalkeeper Cody Cropper and his U-18 US National Team defeated Israel in their opening game of the 2011 Milk Cup at Ballymena Showgrounds, Ballymena, Northern Ireland.
Both teams had chances and a 0-0 score at the end of the half was fair.
In the 53rd minute a goal from Omar Salgado, assisted by Jose Villarreal, broke the deadlock. Jerome Kiesewetter scored 2 minutes into added time to give the US an assurance goal. The assist was credited to Luis Gil. Cody Cropper is credited for the clean sheet.
The US next take on Mexico’s U-18 Team in Coleraine on Wednesday.
