The American youngster takes on Mexico's young side for a chance at glory.

The 16-year-old, who has impressed with Liverpool's youth teams, is the joint top scorer in the tournament.

Figueroa has seven goals in the competition, with the United States having won six straight games en route to the final.

Speaking to American Soccer Now in Guatemala, he said: “I am just enjoying every moment, and it's been a very good experience so far. I mean, this team has people from all over.

“So the fact that we've adapted and played as a team, as a unit, we should be proud of ourselves for that. We are a very special group. It's something that people should be looking forward to in the future."
