Mathis Albert scored his first goal for the U.S. men's national team on September 29, 2026 in a 4-2 friendly win over Chile. He became the youngest ever to score for the U.S., at 17 years and 131 days old, surpassing Christian Pulisic's record of 17 years and 253 days. The goal came in stoppage time off a free kick from Antonee Robinson, who directed the ball to Albert who headed it in off the top bar. Albert joined Borussia Dortmund's youth academy in Germany in 2024, the same club where Pulisic and Gio Reyna developed.
