A 13th-minute winner from Dembakwi Yomba held up as the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team beat Ireland, 1-0, on Saturday in the Marbella Tournament.

Yomba pounced on Ireland turnover and scored his second goal of the tournament, while New York Red Bulls goalkeeper Santiago Castano made four saves in recording a shutout.

The victory improved the U.S. Under-20s to 4-0-2 in international competition in 2014. The Americans can finish the year unbeaten with a win on Tuesday against Canada in the final match of the Marbella Tournament.
