It’s true that Berchimas is the youngest player on the U.S. Under-17 World Cup team, but he was the star of their 3-1 win over South Korea on Sunday during the first game of the tournament.
The United States was ahead in the game at Jakarta International Stadium in Indonesia after just 10 minutes.
After South Korea tied the game in the 35th minute, Cruz Medina scored in the 49th minute, and Berchimas had a lot to do with it. His shot caused a rebound, and the San Jose Earthquakes player put it home.
And Berchimas still had time to score his third goal with a stunning individual effort in the 73rd minute. He cut in from the right and finished with a low left-footed drive from the top of the box.
The win was great for the U.S. Their next game is on Wednesday (4 a.m. ET on FS1, Universo) against Burkina Faso, and their last game is on Saturday (7 a.m. ET on FS1, Universo) against France to finish Group E.
