US edge Mexico 3-0 as 17-year-old Sullivan scores
Cavan Sullivan scored his first international goal, with the source reporting he became the United States’ youngest men’s goalscorer.
The United States men’s national team beat Mexico 3-0 in Glendale, Arizona, in a match that tested a young, new-look side under coach Mauricio Pochettino.
Julian Hall opened the scoring after Mexico had pressed the US early. The source account described the American performance as uneven, with few chances before the break.
Goalkeeper Diego Kochen saved Roberto Alvarado’s shot in the 58th minute. Four minutes later, Mexico goalkeeper Raul Rangel gave the ball away, allowing 17-year-old Cavan Sullivan to score his first international goal.
The CBS Sports report said Sullivan became the USMNT’s youngest goalscorer. Mexico’s Mateo Chavez was sent off in the 67th minute, and Malik Tillman later added a third after another error by Rangel.
The report framed the match as an early test for newcomers during a generational shift in the US squad. It follows wins over Peru and Chile, though the account cautioned that three matches offer only a small sample of the team’s development.
