U-18 MNT Earns Draw Against Chile at Australian Youth Olympic Festival in Sydney
SYDNEY (Jan. 15, 2008) -- The U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team earned a draw against Chile at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival in Sydney, Australia.
After a 17th minute goal from Chile, the U.S. battled back with midfielder Amobi Okugo leveling the score in the second half. A 54th minute corner kick from Dillon Powers sailed into the six-yard box where Okugo rose above the Chilean defenders to head it in.
