Former Ballon d’Or winner and President of Liberia, George Weah is a proud man at the moment as his son, Timothy Weah scored a 38th minute goal to give United States a lead against Wales in their first Qatar 2022 World Cup match on Day 2, Monday.

The only African to have won the world’s best footballer of the year award, Weah senior, never participated at the biggest football stage, the world cup. However, the junior Weah, who scored a goal for his naturalized country gave his legendary football family something to revel about.

Trailing 1-0 against US with less than 10 minutes to go, Wales were later given a penalty when Bale was chopped down in the box. The Los Angeles FC star stepped up to fire the spot kick beyond goalkeeper Matt Turner to snatch a 1-1 draw in the group stage match.

Timothy Weah’s goal is his fourth international goal for his country, having scored three goals in previous appearances for the United States.

Weah, 22, currently plays for Lille in France after a loan spell in Celtic. Timothy Weah has a strong influence coming from his football family, beginning from his father, George Weah, former global football icon.

Timothy’s uncle, Michael Duncan owns a football club. His cousin, Kyle Duncan also plays football for New York Red Bulls.

Young Weah will remain in USA football history as the first goal scorer in Qatar 2022 world cup and the only person born in 2000 to play for the men’s senior football team.

The US has been to the world cup 11th times while Wales is in Qatar for the second World Cup finals.
