Tim's flick showcased Weah pedigree

American Had Displayed A Glimpse Of His Talent During U-17 WC In Delhi

Tim Weah will never forget Walker Zimmerman’s moment of madness that denied USA and spoiled his spectacular premiere at Doha on Monday.

A Christian Pulisic pass split through the heart of Wales defence and found Weah on the run. A rather ordinary and usual occurrence on the football field. What followed was out of the ordinary. The 22-year old, instead of cutting across with the ball, decided to go for the kill with one touch. A flick with the outside of his right boot saw the ball veer away from Wayne Hennessey and get wrapped into the comforts of the far corner of the net.

Was it cool? Very much. Smart too, and smacked of complete control of the situation.
