Walsall midfielder Ayden Bills was named in the starting XI as Canada Under-16s took on USA Under 17s in a behind closed doors friendly on Saturday afternoon.After coming off the bench to score during Canada's recent three-all draw with Costa Rica, Ayden was rightly rewarded with a starting spot as he and his side continue to prepare for the upcoming CONCACAF U-17 Qualifiers.
Saturday's match took place at the Plycem Sports Complex in San Rafael de Alajuela, Costa Rica, and saw the United States build a two-goal lead, with their opponents from the north unable to trouble the scorers.
As the match was played in relative secrecy, there isn't a great deal of information readily available when it comes to minutes played, but we'd like to congratulate Ayden as he continues to make an impact on the international stage.
