📋 World Cup Q

Making just his ninth cap, Josmer Volmy Altidore became the youngest 🇺🇸 to score a hat-trick at 19 years old.

13’

Landon Donovan sets up the first with a cross.

71’

This was probably the best goal of the bunch.

Again, Donovan plays the provider. He starts the move with a run before dropping it back to Altidore.

The striker controlled, made a cut and finished nicely.

89’

Donovan lays it back to Altidore, whose shot trickled under Clayton Ince.

A nice win on Matchday 3.
