The future remains very bright for Jack McGlynn.

McGlynn scored his first U.S. men’s national team goal and also registered his first assist as Mauricio Pochettino’s squad defeated Venezuela 3-1 at DRV PNK Stadium. The Philadelphia Union homegrown midfielder earned SBI Man of the Match honors for his performance.

The 21-year-old delivered the opening goal for the USMNT, breaking the deadlock in the 37th minute. McGlynn received a pass outside of the Venezuela box and drilled a left-footed missile into the top-right corner.

Patrick Agyemang’s first USMNT goal would double the hosts lead before halftime.

McGlynn’s distribution was also on display in the match and the midfielder added to his productive stat-line with a first USMNT assist. His fast break pass to Matko Miljevic allowed the debutant to find the back of the net.

McGlynn played the full 90 minutes for the USMNT, completing 97% of his passes (86/89), creating the most chances (3), and winning three duels.

McGlynn edged Miljevic, Agyemang, and Caden Clark for Man of the Match honors.

What did you think of McGlynn’s performance? Do you see him earning a European move in the coming months? Will McGlynn force his way into the USMNT picture long-term?
