The Uynt striker set a new scoring record and chased the Norwegian superstar of Manchester City in the lower competitions.
The National Team of the United States has secured its place on the U-17 World Cup in Qatar and achieved the headlines with a dominant qualifying campaign. The team registered a historical victory of 22 goals and set a new benchmark for goals scored in a world cup qualification.
To achieve this remarkable achievement, the stars and stripes had eight different players on the score sheet in a single match. However, one name was above the rest: Chase Adams.
The 16-year-old striker, a product of the Academy of Columbus Crew that is currently playing for Columbus 2 in MLS Next Pro, was the feeling of the tournament by scoring 10 of the 22 goals in the United States by the US Virgin Islands, a performance those records shattered.
Adams showed his clinical finish by scoring six goals alone in the first half and tangling defenders during the game before he reached double digits in the second half.
With this performance he set a new record for goals scored by a US U-17 player in a world cup qualification, which made comparisons with one of the current superstars of the game and hints on a clear future.
In the footsteps of Haaland
Few players have had an impact at the youth level, just like Erling Haaland. The Spits of Manchester City burst on the scene on the U-20 World Cup, where he scored nine goals in the 12-0 rout of Honduras of Norway-a performance that shadowed his rise to the elite ranges of world football.
Adams has now surpassed the counting of Haaland, an achievement that the spotlight puts firmly on the young American. The weight of expectation will be a crucial factor in its development, both with the national team and at club level. His next challenge? Shines on the U-17 World Cup in Qatar.
