SAN JUAN, Costa Rica – The United States U20s will look to build on a big second-half performance, and take a second victory that would likely put the side into the second stage of the 2017 CONCACAF U20 Championship when it faces St. Kitts & Nevis at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. ET.

United States news and notes

  • The United States rallied to take a 4-1 victory against Haiti on Tuesday evening as Real Salt Lake’s Brooks Lennon recorded a hat trick to move the side into second place in Group B.

  • Haiti took the lead through Kenley Dede, but Lennon’s equalizer from the penalty spot evened the score before halftime, and then three goals in a six-minute span saw the U.S. pull away for victory.

  • Former Charleston Battery loanee Jeremy Ebobisse recorded an assist on Lennon’s second goal, and had a solid all-around performance as he looks for his first goal of the tournament.

  • The U.S. will know the result it needs to advance to the second stage at kickoff, with the game between Panama and Haiti preceding it at 3 p.m. ET.

St. Kitts & Nevis news and notes

  • St. Kitts & Nevis has suffered defeat in both of its opening two games, and fell 4-0 to Panama on Tuesday afternoon in its most recent contest.

  • St. Kitts & Nevis is competing at the CONCACAF U20 Championship for the first time since 2007, and advanced past Jamaica to qualify for the tournament.
