Teens on target again as US down Mexico
Cavan Sullivan became the youngest US international goalscorer in history as the United States defeated arch-rivals Mexico 3-0 in an international friendly.
Glenada: In an international friendly match held in Arizona on Saturday, the United States soccer team secured a 3-0 victory over arch-rival Mexico. Cavan Sullivan, at 17 years and five days, became the youngest US international goalscorer in history, surpassing Mathis Albert's record of 17 years and 31 days. Sullivan's goal came in the 62nd minute, doubling the USA lead.
Earlier, 18-year-old Julian Hall had given the USA the lead in the 28th minute, marking his third goal in three consecutive games. Despite Mexico's dominance in possession and territory early on, they were unable to break through the well-organized US defense. The turning point came when Luis Chavez, substituted late in the match, received a red card for a foul on Sebastian Berhalter in the 68th minute.
The US completed their scoring with a goal from Malik Tillman in the 84th minute, marking the end of a miserable night for Mexico.
