The Group B-leading Americans beat Slovakia 2-0 in San Juan, and second-placed Ecuador hit Fiji 9-0 in Santiago del Estero.
The U.S. had already secured a spot in the knockout stage but finished the group stage with three wins from three games, and no goals conceded.
Cade Cowell scored before halftime from a counterattack, and Niko Tsakiris added their second in injury time.
