Cavan Sullivan became the youngest goalscorer in USMNT history during a friendly victory over rivals Mexico at State Farm Stadium. The 17-year-old scored just six days after his birthday, breaking the previous record established only four days prior by Borussia Dortmund's Mathis Albert against Chile.
