Mathis Albert Becomes Youngest Goalscorer in USMNT History at 17 Years, 131 Days

Mathis Albert has become the youngest goalscorer in United States men’s national team history after netting in a 4-2 friendly win over Chile.

The Borussia Dortmund teenager scored at the age of 17 years and 131 days, surpassing the previous mark set by Christian Pulisic, who was 17 years and 253 days old when he scored his first USMNT goal.

Albert’s historic strike came in second-half stoppage time at Energizer Park in St. Louis, sealing the victory for a youthful American side under coach Mauricio Pochettino.

The goal arrived shortly after the midfielder entered the match as a substitute and completed a rapid rise that has already seen him become the youngest American to appear in the Bundesliga.

The achievement adds to a series of milestones for the Greenville, South Carolina native, who made his senior national team debut days earlier against Peru.

His record-breaking moment against Chile underscores the emerging talent pipeline in American soccer and marks a significant step in Albert’s promising career with both Dortmund and the USMNT.
