Sixteen-year-old Mia Bhuta became the first ever Indian-American to play for the United States women’s national team at any FIFA World Cup in the U-17 tournament.
In poetic fashion, she made her debut against India’s U-17 team as the two sides are in Group A of the World Cup. However, India, the host nation, never stood a chance as the U.S. poured on goal after goal in an 8-0 rout.
The second historical moment for Bhuta? She scored the eighth and final goal in the 62nd minute, making her the first Indian-American to also score for the nation at any World Cup. To top it all off, it was a magnificent finesse shot with her left foot from well outside the box that sailed into the upper left corner.
