Keyrol Figueroa helped the USA make it two wins from two at the U17 World Cup with a goal in a 2-1 victory over Burkina Faso on Wednesday.

The Liverpool forward opened the scoring in the Group E contest in Indonesia at the end of the first half, as he completed 65 minutes of the game.

Nimfasha Berchimas struck a second in added time in the opening period for the USA at Jakarta International Stadium, while Jack Diarra netted an 89th-minute consolation for Burkina Faso.

The USA will next face France in their third group outing on Saturday, with progress to the Round of 16 already secured.
