Teenage substitute Juan Agudelo scored on his debut Wednesday to give the United States a 1-0 win over South Africa in a friendly on Wednesday.
Agudelo, who turns 18 next Tuesday, scored in the 85th minute after coming on as a substitute midway through the second half.
Agudelo passed to fellow newcomer Mikkel Diskerud, who maintained control despite being smothered by three defenders and played the ball back to Agudelo. He took one touch and banged the ball in off the crossbar from 7 yards out.
The teenager made his first two starts for the New York Red Bulls in the MLS playoffs against San Jose because of a knee injury to Thierry Henry.
