The U.S. U-15 Boy’s National Team have had an impressive run at the Torneo Delle Nazioni, and closed out the tournament in perfect fashion.
The U.S. U-15s have captured the tournament title as they defeated the England U-15s in the championship match by a final score of 2-1. With the match level late in the 73rd minute New York City FC academy midfielder Gio Reyna, son of former USMNT star Claudio Reyna, burst through the English back line on the end of a through ball and calmly slotted his finish into the lower-left corner past the outstretched English keeper.
They've done it 🇺🇸🏆! The U-15 #USBNT are champions of the Torneo Delle Nazioni!

The goal and subsequent victory sends coach Dave Van Den Bergh and his squad home with a nice piece of silverware over some stiff competition from European opposition.
Gio Reyna. Nice.
They also beat Portugal in the semifinals 4-2.
So they beat other teams, like Russia and Slovenia- would have been nice to include those results.
