  "account": "Cavan Sullivan etched his name into United States men's national team history as the youngest goalscorer in the sport's annals. The 17-year-old eclipsed the previous record set by Mathis Albert, who had scored at the tender age of 17 years and 131 days in a match against Chile. Sullivan, who is currently 17 years and five days, displayed remarkable skill when he intercepted a pass from Mexico goalkeeper Raul Rangel before executing a composed lob to double the USA's lead in the 62nd minute of a 3-0 friendly victory. Sullivan, who plays for MLS side Philadelphia Union and is set to join Manchester City next season, expressed his joy, stating that moments like these are what every young player dreams of. The move to Manchester City, however, is clouded by uncertainty following the Premier League's ruling against the club for breaching 115 charges. Manchester City is anticipated to appeal the decision. In the match, Julian Hall and Malik Tillman also contributed to the USA's victory with the latter scoring the decisive goal in the 84th minute. Mexico's evening was marred by the dismissal of substitute Luis Chavez in the 68th minute for an unsportsmanlike act.",
