Myer Bevan has yet to don a ‘Caps jersey, but already the newest Whitecaps FC 2 (WFC2) signing is making headlines.
On Thursday, the New Zealand U-20 international scored twice for his country in a 3-1 victory over Honduras at the FIFA U-20 World Cup that puts them in prime position to advance to the knockout stage.
The first goal came in the first minute of the match when he snuck behind the backline and, from an acute angle, hit a beautiful strike off the crossbar and in.
Then with the match sitting at 2-1 early in the second half, the 20-year-old stepped up and calmly slotted home a penalty kick to secure a 3-1 victory.
