Forward Christopher Aquino scored two of the 7 goals the United States took on the Dominican Republic in the Round of 16 of the 2023 CONCACAF Under-17 Championship. The goals of the match for the hosts were scored by Christopher Aquino (21′ 1T and 29′ 1T, penalty), Keyrol Figueroa (46′ 1T and 11′ 2T), Micah Burton (16′ 2T) and Ezekiel Soto (37′ 2T and 44′ 2T).

Keyrol Figueroa nearly widened the gap in the 46th minute of the first half, but his shot hit one of the posts.

Keyrol Figueroa performed well. The USA striker shone scoring 2 goals, kicking 9 and completing 16 correct passes.

Another player who had a great game was Micah Burton. The USA striker shone scoring 1 goal, kicking 5 and completing 27 correct passes.

It was a duel that was stopped, due to the high accumulation of offenses on the pitch. Several people have been warned: Francisco Reyes, Marlon Mena, Nicolás Cruz and Arturo Peña.

USA manager Gonzalo Segares presented a tactical 4-3-3 setup with Adam Beaudry in goal; Oscar Verhoeven, Sawyer Jura, Stuart Hawkins and Christian Díaz on the defensive line; Pedro Soma, Taha Habroune and Paulo Rudisill in the middle; and Micah Burton, Keyrol Figueroa and Christopher Aquino in attack.

For their part, Mariano Pérez’s side came out with a 3-5-2 tactical arrangement with Edwin Frías under the three sticks; Francisco Reyes, Josué Nuñez and Raffaele De Lucía in defence; Carlos Sarante, Lucas Bretón, Nicolás Cruz, Thomas O Rourke and Marlon Mena in midfield; and Bladimil Jackson and Juan Peralta up front.
