Tim Weah Nets First USMNT Goal vs. Wales (Video)

For the first time in eight years, the United States men’s national team has scored a goal in a World Cup game. 

22-year-old winger Tim Weah became the 23rd man in history to score a goal for the U.S. with a crafty finish in the 38th minute of Monday’s group play opener against Wales. After a spectacular run and pass from star forward Christian Pulisic, Weah did the rest, sending the ball off the outside of his right foot and into the back of the net. 

The score marked the first goal by the USMNT in a World Cup since Julian Green scored in the round of 16 against Belgium at the 2014 tournament. More importantly, Weah’s finish gave the American side a 1–0 lead.
