Teenage star Cavan Sullivan became the youngest scorer in United States men's national team history, after the teenager found the net with a stunning effort from distance in Saturday's 3-0 win over rival Mexico.
Philadelphia Union midfielder Sullivan scored in the 62nd minute of the clash in Glendale, Arizona, intercepting a pass from goalkeeper Raúl Rangel midway inside the Mexico half before lobbing the ball expertly into the unguarded net.
At 17 years and five days, Sullivan takes the record as the USMNT's youngest scorer just four days after Mathis Albert, at 17 years and 131 days, had set the mark with his goal against Chile.
The record was previously held by Christian Pulisic (17 years, 253 days).
Sullivan's goal came in his third international appearance, having made his debut last week when he became the youngest player to start a game for the United States since Freddy Adu in 2006.
The memorable strike made it 2-0 to a youthful U.S. team. Another teenager, 18-year-old Julian Hall, opened the scoring in the first half off an assist from Gio Reyna.
In doing so, Hall became just the third player to score in each of his first three appearances for the USMNT, after Eddie Johnson (2004-05) and Alexander Rae (1937).
It was the first time in team history that the USMNT has scored in the first half of 10 consecutive games.
After Mateo Chávez received a red card to compound a miserable night for Mexico, Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Malik Tillman scored his third goal in his last four USMNT appearances to make it 3-0.
With a new generation of talent, Mauricio Pochettino's U.S. side has won all three of its friendlies since a disappointing World Cup exit at the hands of Belgium in the round of 16.
Saturday's win in front of a largely pro-Mexico crowd at State Farm Stadium snapped a two game losing streak for the U.S. against its biggest foe and was its biggest margin of victory in the series since the 2023 Concacaf Nations League semifinals.
It also made Pochettino just the seventh coach in USMNT history with 20 wins.
The U.S. will round out the September/October international window with a friendly against Canada on Tuesday.
