The North American team now has six points in its zone and has almost secured a place in the next round, to which the four teams placed in the best third place will qualify. His place can be filled later, depending on the Ecuador-Slovakia event.
The United States took possession of the ball, also observed in its debut against Ecuador (1-0), and monopolized this face of the game with 75 percent in the first half.

This allowed him to have dangerous situations, except for the first game, and in the beginning he closed with 13 goal attempts (three on target).
Fiji have suffered too much with a weak midfield body and especially from any kind of tactical disorganization – they conceded four goals on their debut against Slovakia. Indeed, he had one approach that was not very dangerous and a positive thing in half the time, that he held nothing in his purpose almost miraculously.
END United States!
Caleb Wiley made it 3-0 for the United States over Fiji

The dynamic movements remained in the first plugin although Cade Cowell failed as in all the previous minutes when he found himself towards the goal behind the excellent account of Daniel Edelman.
The United States were called fast and first-class teams to break the ultra-defensive goal from Fiji, which had six defenders, sometimes three midfield and a striker, and thus found a 1-0 lead at the feet of Diego Luna.

Those led by Mikey Varas controlled the following actions, but only hit the jackpot in the end with the exquisite shooter Cade Cowell for the deadly actions.
He then got the extra reward he was waiting for: a free kick to the post and Caleb Wiley pushed it into solitude, exposing his rival’s carelessness.
