| Walker Zimmerman put the Americans ahead in the 37th minute and Sargent doubled the lead in the 52nd. Weah, the son of former World Fifa Player of the Year and current Liberia president George Weah, scored in the 59th. Weah became the fourth-youngest American to score an international goal when he displaced Sargent, who was born two days earlier. Sargent’s goal was particularly memorable. With his back to the goal, he intercepted an errant pass from the Bolivia goalkeeper, twisted round and fired home. Weah’s goal came from close range after an Antonee Robinson cross eluded the Bolivia defenders. | Walker Zimmerman put the Americans ahead in the 37th minute and Sargent doubled the lead in the 52nd.
