The United States did not concede any goals in their first four matches in the tournament.
'That´s life. If you don´t have enough, you don´t win,' U.S. coach Mikey Varas told the official broadcaster after the match. 'They fought, they have what they had and they had a great tournament here.'
Uruguay coach Marcelo Brioli agreed that the first goal of the match came when the U.S. team was dominating.
'The first minutes of the match were hard, but our team's maturity made the difference,' Brioli said.
None of the four teams left in the tournament has ever won it. Uruguay was runner up in 1997 and 2013. Israel is playing in the U-20 World Cup for the first time.
