The meteoric rise of the right-winger saw him score the opener in the 1-1 draw at the PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania.

Mpong-who plays for Medeama SC in the Ghana Premier League-has earned a lot of reviews for his
But the 21-year-old is delighted with his performance but he is unsure if that will make him a Black Stars regular.
''I thank God for the chance to represent my country and I hope such of more opportunities will come my way in the future,'' Mpong told Medeama SC's official website.
''I am grateful to the management and supporters of my team and also to the Black Stars coach and Ghanaian soccer fans for the massive support I received when I got the call up.
''I hope to continue from where I have left off when such windows are opened to me.''
Mpong was a member of the Ghana Under-17 team who finished fourth at the 2007 FIFA World Cup in Korea.
He played a key role in the Ghana Under-23 side who won gold at the 2011 All Africa Games in Maputo, Mozambique.
