Julian Hall Makes MLS History with Youngest-Ever Hat-Trick
Eighteen-year-old Julian Hall achieved a historic milestone in Major League Soccer by scoring a hat-trick for the New York Red Bulls in their 3-2 victory over the Columbus Crew. At 18 years and 50 days old, Hall became the youngest player ever to record a hat-trick in MLS history, surpassing previous records held by Ricardo Pepi and Kekuta Manneh. This performance marks the first hat-trick of his professional career and highlights his rapid development within the Red Bulls' academy system. Hall, who made his MLS debut at age 15, has been in exceptional form this season, tallying 12 goals and two assists in just 15 appearances. Although he has Polish heritage, Hall represents the United States at the youth international level. His standout performances have drawn attention from national team selectors, though a call-up to Mauricio Pochettino’s upcoming World Cup squad remains uncertain. Nevertheless, Hall is widely recognized as one of the most promising young talents in American soccer, with a bright future ahead in the league and potentially on the international stage.
