Overview
- United States beat France 3-0 with late goals from Zavier Gozo, Brooklyn Raines and Marcos Zambrano to reach six points and secure a Round of 16 place from Group E.
- Argentina is already through from Group D and will top the section with at least a draw against Italy on Saturday in Valparaíso.
- Group C after two rounds: Morocco 6 points (qualified), Mexico 2, Brazil 1, Spain 1, leaving Mexico needing a win over Morocco to guarantee advancement.
