An American set a couple of records Tuesday in the Women's World Cup, but she wasn't playing for Team USA.

When South Korea subbed 16-year-old forward Casey Phair of New Jersey into its opening match against Colombia in Sydney, various Western media were quick to to note that she became the youngest player ever to compete in the Women's World Cup. Phair is 16 years and 26 days old, and when she entered the match in the 78th minute, she beat the previous mark set by Ifeanyi Chiejine, according to The Athletic. Chiejine was 16 years and 34 days old when she played for Nigeria against North Korea in 1999.
