JAKARTA - The United States U-17 national team will play their second match in Group E of the U-17 World Cup against Burkina Faso U-17. This meeting is a big opportunity for Baby Nats, nicknamed AS, to extend positive results.

Held at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), Wednesday 15 November at 16.00 p.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB), the United States U-17 had high self-confidence to challenge Burkina Faso U-17. The team coached by Gonzalo Segares successfully won on the first matchday.

Against South Korea U-17 last weekend, Baby Nats closed the match with a 3-1 win. This achievement means they are now in second place in the standings with three points.

Even though they had a difficult match against South Korea U-17, Segares appreciated his team's struggle which was able to seal the win. After that, the coach focused on recovering the players' physical condition so that they could perform better when they met Burkina Faso U-17, which was important to gain the full three points again.

"The most important thing now is that we recover physically and mentally, because players can get tired in that case (facing South Korea U-17). "But we will be fully ready soon because this is an important match against Burkina Faso," said Gonzalo Segares.

In contrast to the United States U-17 national team which has high self-confidence, Burkina Faso U-17 seems to be on a mission to recover on the second matchday.

Brahima Traore's team needs more strength and determination because on the first matchday they lost points. Facing France U-17, Burkina Faso went home without success because they lost 0-3.

From that defeat, the agenda to face the United States U-17 became the moment for Burkina Faso to appear more pressing and sharp in order to hunt for the first points. They will try to get up in order to realize their mission to perform optimally in every match.

This match is expected to be a proving ground for both teams after the results of the first match did not meet expectations, especially for Burkina Faso U-17.

Anticipation is widespread among fans and junior football fans, especially regarding the strategies and performance of these teams. The United States U-17 national team, which is now one of the favorites, will be looking for a win to boost their morale and position in the standings.

With a schedule full of suspense, fans around the world are gearing up to witness fierce competition in the U-17 World Cup in 2023. The big question now is how the teams will respond to the pressure and how the dynamics of the standings will change after this series of matches.
