PACHUCA, Mexico - A 10-man United States held on for a 0-0 draw with New Zealand on Saturday, enough to advance it and give CONCACAF a second team in the second round of the Under-17 World Cup.

The result finished both teams with four points and tied for second place in Group D behind Uzbekistan. Although the draw assured both of advancing, because the United States and New Zealand finished with an identical 4-2 aggregate goal count, the tie had to be broken by lots.

Acting FIFA U-17 World Cup chairman David Chung conducted the draw, pulling the United States' slip of paper and putting sending the Americans to a second-round meeting against the Group E winner - likely Germany -- on Thursday.

Earlier, Canada was eliminated from contention with its 0-0 draw with Rwanda, a result that also knocked out the African side.

The Canadians finished with two points, in third place, five behind Group C winner England and four back of Uruguay.

In the latter game, the United States outshot the Kiwis 20-4 and had 10 corners to New Zealand's one, but lost captain Marc Pelosi in the 68th minute to a second yellow card.

The United States joins host Mexico in the knockout round, leaving Panama with a chance on Sunday to add another CONCACAF side in the round-of-16. Canada was eliminated along with Jamaica.
