Moore eclipses Dempsey to score fastest goal in USMNT history

U.S. men's national team fullback Shaq Moore's game-opening tap-in on Sunday set the record for the fastest goal in team history, surpassing Clint Dempsey in the process.

Moore scored just 20 seconds into the USMNT's Gold Cup group stage finale against Canada, darting in on the back post to slide home a low cross from Sebastian Lletget.

And that gave him the fastest finish since in U.S. Soccer's database, which goes back to 1989, as he usurped Dempsey.

The previous record-holder was what just be the former USMNT forward's most famous international goal.
