Weah wrote his name in the record books as the first son of a former ballon d’Or winner to play and score at the FIFA World Cup.
Speaking after the match Weah said, “Christian gave me a beautiful ball and it was up to me to finish it.
“It felt like in the first half we had a lot of energy, a lot of momentum … and then coming into the second-half we dialed down and Wales turned it up a notch. They started pressing us, they had most of the ball and I think at the end that’s what really hurt us.”
