SHIZUOKA, Japan (Aug. 14, 2007) - The U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team defeated Japan, 1-0, in their third and final match of the SBS Cup at Ecopa Stadium in Shizuoka, Japan.
Shawn Barry scored the game-winner in the 62nd minute off a pass from Andrew Weideman. Weideman had chased down a long ball into the right corner, defeated a defender and then dropped the ball back inside the area for the streaking Barry, who buried his shot past the 'keeper.
