    Borussia Dortmund's Mathis Albert makes instant impact on USA debut against Peru
    Making your senior international debut is one thing. Helping change the course of a game almost immediately is another. For Albert, Saturday's outing in Orlando offered the chance to do both.
    With the score level at 1-1, Mauricio Pochettino introduced the Borussia Dortmund youngster in place of former BVB and Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Gio Reyna shortly after the hour mark. It proved an inspired change, with Albert quickly giving Peru something new to think about.

    In Friday evening’s Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifier between Algeria and Zambia, the 20-year-old midfielder played the full 90 minutes as his side – buoyed by fellow Bundesliga stars Ramy Bensebaini of Borussia Dortmund and Farès Chaïbi of Eintracht Frankfurt - cruised to a 3-1 victory.

    Tireless running, a willingness to get forward and clear decision-making marked Treu's first appearance for his country. There was a confidence about his performance rarely associated with a player making his senior international bow.
