Alex Freeman, son of Antonio, scores goal for U.S. vs. Australia

“He did what?”

Alex Freeman, the 21-year-old son of former NFL receiver Antonio Freeman, has scored a goal in the first half of Friday’s match between the United States and Australia.

The goal initially was wiped out by an offside ruling. The decision was overturned on replay review.

Alex Freeman now has three goals in international play. He had an assist in last Friday’s 4-1 U.S. win over Paraguay. He plays professional for Villarel in La Liga.

Antonio Freeman spent nine seasons in the NFL, eight of them with the Packers. He was a member of the Super Bowl XXXI-winning team, and he provided one of the all-time great Monday night highlights with a bouncing-ball catch and run for a score in overtime against the Vikings during the 2000 season.
