'I had a good feeling I was going to score' - Llanez recalls debut goal for USMNT

U.S. men's national team winger Ulysses Llanez has spoken glowingly of his USMNT debut, with the teenager scoring in a friendly against Costa Rica in February.

The 19-year-old is considered one of the top prospects in the U.S. pipeline, and he was recently promoted to the first team at Wolfsburg as he seeks a senior debut.

Llanez has already achieved his USMNT debut, and he marked the occasion by scoring from the spot in a 1-0 victory over the Ticos.
