It took all of 19 minutes for Dom Dwyer to score on his U.S. men's national team debut, and he did so in tremendous fashion, smashing home a first-time volley after a fortuitous bounce off the foot of Jorge Villafana to give his side a 1-0 lead over Ghana in this pre-Gold Cup friendly.
GOOOOAAAL! @Ddwyer14 wastes no time!

The #USMNT leads Ghana, 1-0, in the 19th minute! pic.twitter.com/vQwqRTmWt0
Dwyer, who was born in England but recently became an American citizen, became the 48th player to score on his U.S. national team debut. His wife, U.S. women's team star Sydney Leroux, reacted to her husband's debut screamer appropriately, too:
AHHHHHHHHH LET'S GOOOO!!!!!

The U.S. went on to win 2-1.
