Have yourself a day, Matt Besler.

Hours after he became a first-time father, Besler netted the first international goal of his career Friday afternoon.

Besler, a Sporting Kansas City defender, scored in the first half for the United States men’s national team in their match against St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Besler and his teammates used a “rock the baby” celebration to mark the occasion.

Besler’s wife, Amanda, gave birth to their daughter, Parker Rhea, on Friday morning.
