After battling leg injuries for more than a year, USMNT midfielder Tyler Adams marked his return to the United States starting lineup with a howitzer goal in his final contribution of the night.

Adams came on as a substitute in the team’s poor performance against Jamaica, a match the United States won 3-1 after extra time.

But the Bournemouth man made his mark with a shot from more than 30 yards that slid perfectly into the top left corner to give the Americans a 1-0 lead at the half.

The shot sent shock and awe throughout the stadium, from commentators, writers and fans as Adams ran to the sideline and jumped into the arms of coach Gregg Berhalter.

Jesse Marsch, who coached Adams with the New York Red Bulls and at Leeds United, said: “I sat in training and passed him the ball from 30 yards to shoot… and he never, ever hit a ball in his life.” So.’

It was only Adams’ second goal for the United States, and his last was also against Mexico.

At the half, Berhalter pulled Adams, replacing him with Johnny Cardoso, as there is likely an agreement between the U.S. coach and Adams’ club to restrict his minutes while he finishes his recovery from a ligament injury.

Adams had not taken the field between September and early March, when he played a few games for Bournemouth’s youth team.

The following week, he made his Premier League debut for the Cherries, coming on as a substitute.

Adams had been dealing with an injury since March, when he was playing for Leeds United.
