Philadelphia Union's Cavan Sullivan Becomes Youngest USMNT Scorer

The 17-year-old scored in his third USMNT appearance, and Mauricio Pochettino’s team also got goals from Julian Hall and Malik Tillman.

  • On Saturday, Oct. 3, Philadelphia Union forward Cavan Sullivan became the youngest USMNT goal-scorer ever at age 17 years, 5 days, scoring during a 3-0 victory over Mexico at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
  • A breakout season with the Philadelphia Union earned Sullivan his USMNT call-up; he recorded nine goals and 15 assists across all competitions while becoming the youngest MLS Player of the Month.
  • Intercepting a pass from Mexico goalkeeper Raul Rangel in the 62nd minute, Sullivan scored his goal, while Julian Hall and Malik Tillman added tallies in the dominant display.
  • Mexico played with 10 men after Mateo Chavez received a 67th-minute red card, as coach Mauricio Pochettino led the Americans to victory in the 80th match between the rivals.
  • Sullivan continues a historic campaign, having already broken Freddy Adu's record for most goal contributions by a player aged 16 or younger in a single season earlier this year.
