The son of Super Bowl champion wide receiver Antonio Freeman scored on a header for the United States in\u00a0its 2-0 World Cup win\u00a0over Australia on Friday. It was the third international goal for Freeman, the Americans\u2019 youngest starter at age 21.<\/p>\n

With the U.S. leading 1-0 in the 43rd minute, Antonee Robinson sent a free kick to Sergi\u00f1o Dest, who fired a shot from just outside the penalty area. The ball deflected off an Australian defender and high into the air,\u00a0and Freeman leaped\u00a0\u2014 high-pointing the ball, in NFL terms \u2014 and headed it past the outstretched arm of goalkeeper Patrick Beach and into the net.<\/p>\n

A replay review for offside delayed Freeman\u2019s celebration, but\u00a0the goal was confirmed,\u00a0and Lumen Field shook as Freeman ran to a corner of the field, surrounded by jubilant teammates.<\/p>\n

Freeman called it \u201ca full-circle family moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it just shows how great the family tree is,\u201d he said. \u201cHe can be great but I can be great in my own way as well. I think that just shows how amazing it is to have a dad who\u2019s successful and that can mentor me to be able to be ready for moments like these.\u201d<\/p>\n
