Atlanta United Academy forward Lagos Kunga was one of five members of the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team to score a goal in Thursday’s 6-0 win over New Zealand.

Kunga, from Atlanta, scored the final point of Thursday’s match in the second-half of stoppage time.

The U.S. National Team will advance to the Quarterfinals of the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup and face Venezuela on Sunday at 2 a.m. EST. The game will be played at Jeonju World Cup Stadium in Jeonju, Korea Republic.

The win tied the record for largest margin of victory by the United States in the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
