Several American players took part in matches across Europe, yielding varied performances. Matthew Hoppe played in SønderjyskE’s win but lacked impact, while Rokas Pukstas contributed in Hajduk Split’s victory. Other American players were either rested or did not see action. Overall, the weekend showed mixed results for Yanks abroad.
Rokas Pukstas scored for Hajduk Split, intensifying transfer rumors prior to the summer window’s close. Meanwhile, Korede Osundina and Samuel Adeniran also found the net in their leagues. Notable performances in Denmark, Scotland, Croatia, Austria, Poland, and Portugal highlighted the weekend’s games featuring American players abroad.
Josh Sargent’s two assists for Norwich weren’t enough to secure a man of the match performance after being overshadowed by his hattrick-hero teammate, while Brenden Aaronson helped to keep Leeds rolling and within reach of the division’s upper echelon.
Antonee Robinson continues to lead the pack in the Premier League while Charlie Kelman scored the game winner down in League One.
Antonee Robinson and Donovan Pines were on their teams’s respective stat sheets this weekend for assists and goals, while several other Yanks in England were happy to have continued to secure starting spots before the international break.
American center-back Donovan Pines has made a move to Barnsley in England’s League One, departing from Major League Soccer’s D.C. United after a four-season stint.
