Cavan Sullivan has become the youngest goal scorer in the history of the United States men's national team, according to ESPN's live coverage of the match.
Sullivan, a teenage winger who rose through the ranks at Philadelphia Union before earning a senior call-up, reached the milestone during the game, ESPN reported as part of its live blog of the fixture. The outlet's coverage, as captured here, did not detail the opponent, the scoreline or the exact circumstances of the goal.
The record underscores the growing presence of young, academy-developed players within the senior USMNT setup, as the program continues to lean on a pipeline of prospects developed domestically and through Major League Soccer academies in recent years.
Further details of the match, including the final result and any additional milestones, were expected to be added as ESPN's live coverage continued.
