Americans abroad

Yanks Abroad: Pulisic leads Milan, Murrell tops Scotland in scoring, McGlynn stars, & more

It was a very busy day for Yanks in Europe as Pulisic is turning in great outings for Milan on a consistent basis while other key Americans are in a rut. ASN's Brian Sciaretta breaks it all down

THE WEEKEND FOR AMERICANS abroad was again a mixed bag, but the highs were very high. Christian Pulisic has returned to an elite level of production with Milan, there were goals in Ligue 1, and several Americans are in the Championship promotional race. On the flip side, many U.S. national team regulars are in a rut – including Chris Richards, Folarin Balogun, and Brenden Aaronson.

Let’s begin in Italy.

 

Pulisic scores, assists, to remain red hot

 

Christian Pulisic scored for the third time in his last four Serie A games as AC Milan posted a 2-1 away win over Genoa to move into fourth place in Italy’s top tier. The scoring slump that defined his first nine months of 2026 is now a distant memory and Pulisic is now playing again like a truly elite Serie A winger.

In the 13th minute, Puliisc began the play that resulted in Milan's first goal when he forced a turnover that then played Adrien Rabiot for a run down the right side. Rabiot was then able to set up Alphadejo Cisse for a goal. 

 

In the 19th minute, Pulisic took advantage of Genoa’s disastrous decision making in the back and was able to get on the end of an easy finish from close range.



Aside from scoring and forcing the turnover for the first goal, Pulisic was 37/39 in his passing and was dangerous throughout his 79 minute shift. The win moved Milan into fourth place.

Yunus Musah played 87 minutes in another AC Milan start. He did not have a major impact in the game, but he can potentially continue to start as AC Milan continues to win. Doing that will also keep him in the U.S. national team picture.

 

McKenzie and Reyna score in duel

 

The weekend for Americans in Europe began in style in France with Toulouse hosting Strasbourg in a 3-1. The game was played in fog and rain. Mark McKenzie started for Toulouse and Gio Reyna started for Strasbourg, as has been the norm this season.

In the second half, McKenzie put Toulouse up 2-0 with a header off a corner in 56th minute. The corner was delivered by former Red Bull New York midfielder Cristian Casseras.

Then it was Reyna’s turn when he scored with a lovely individual effort to cut the deficit in half to give Strasbourg a chance at 2-1.



But ultimately it was not enough and Toulouse scored again to coast to a 3-1 win.

Both Americans showed well. McKenzie completed 72/76 passes out of the back, defended well, and scored a goal. McKenzie was initially left off the U.S. national team but will make a return after the injury to George Campbell. The opportunity is there for him to impress and seal a key spot on this team. Maybe this game will give him momentum.

Reyna, meanwhile, had to hobble off in the 70th minute and the injury was enough for him to be replaced on the USMNT roster by McGlynn. The hope is that he will recover during the international break because he cannot afford another long injury layoff that has defined his career up to this point.

 

McGlynn and Bombino star in Stoke win

 

Stoke City continues to look like a strong promotion contender out of the Championship after a 2-1 away win over Portsmouth on Saturday.

Both Jack McGlynn and Luca Bombino continue to look like massive additions and the two combined for Stoke City’s first goal in the 59th minute. After a ball was sent into the box, Portsmouth goalkeeper Nicolas Schmid failed to collect the ball. Bombino was able to keep the ball in play with impressive hustle and send it back into the box where McGlynn made an impressive and powerful finish.  



McGlynn now has five goals and two assists on the season and is Stoke City’s leading scorer as the club moved into third place with the win. What is interesting tactically is that Stoke City have him playing on the right side of the field to allow him to cut centrally for more scoring opportunities.

After the game, McGlynn was added to the U.S. national team to replace Gio Reyna who was injured in Strasbourg’s last game. McGlynn has a golden opportunity now to see his top club form translate over to the U.S. team where he has arguably the best left foot in the player pool as well as one of the best shots from distance. On top of that, he has a lot momentum on the heels of a wave of great performances.

Meanwhile, it was another good performance from Bombino who subbed into the game in the 57th minute, less than two minutes before his assist. He should eventually become a regular starter for Stoke and his performances have been mostly positive. Next up for Bombino will be a trip to Spain to play with the U.S. Olympic team in its first camp to begin preparations for LA 2028.

 

Castaneda strong ahead USMNT camp

 

Santiago Castaneda will turn 22 next week while in his first USMNT camp. The central midfielder will arrive in the USA with momentum off a string of strong performances. The latest came on Saturday when he went 90 minutes for Paderborn in a 2-2 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt. The Tampa native was strong in the first half but quiet in the second half. In the first half, he was on the ball a lot and was smart with his passing as Paderborn was outplaying Eintracht. In the second half, the entire Paderborn team was a step behind.

It will be very interesting to see how Castaneda plays with the U.S. team as he is very different than Tyler Adams, who is the first choice in that position. Where is Adams covers ground and aggressively defends, Castaneda relies on positional awareness to defend.

But Paderborn continues to get points in a season where many were expecting the team to be at the bottom. The newly promoted club has 10 points from nine games and sits 12th.

 

Scally assists in M’Gladbach loss

 

Joe Scally was left off the U.S. national team roster for November but turned in a solid performance for Borussia Monchengladbach where he was, once again, one of his team’s rare bright spots in yet another loss. This time it was a 3-1 defeat to Hamburg on Friday. Borussia Monchengladbach sits last in the Bundesliga with just four points from nine games.

Scally gave M’Gladbach hope in the 44th minute when he hit a strong shot from the edge the box that might have been heading wide but was redirected into the goal by his teammate Robin Hack.



But shortly into the second half, M’Gladbach defender Ko Itakura was sent off and from there HSV ran away from the game.

Scally is at a crossroad. He’s fallen behind a lot of players within the U.S. national team depth chart. First, it was Sergino Dest and then it was Alex Freeman. Now Bryan Reynolds and other Olympic options.

The only thing he can do is just play well, get back into another camp, and then play well. But this looks as if it will be his last season for Borussia Monchengladbach after joining the club when he was 18. He might make a move in January if M’Gladbach wants to get some money for him. Otherwise, he will stay and help the club try to avoid relegation.

Either way, his performances this season will give him options to land at a more successful club on a bigger deal.

 

Murrell moves into scoring lead in Scotland 

 

Jacob Murrell, 22, is one of the most surprising stories in the Scottish Premiership to begin this season. The Maryland native and former Georgetown Hoya forward did not impress with his first club, DC United. In two and a half season seasons. During that time, the mustered just 4 goals in 65 appearances. This summer, he had the chance to leave and start fresh in Scotland with Falkirk FC. 

Murrell has been a revelation in the Premiership. On Sunday, he scored two goals and was the man of the match in a 5–2 away win over Hearts in Edinburgh.

 

He now has seven goals in just 11 matches for Falkirk, and that has him as the co-leading scorer of the league as we hit the November international window

It’s a great story of how certainly leagues might not work out for some players, but in a global sport, maybe different leagues can offer players a chance to thrive when they could not before. 

 

Trio of Yanks feature in Boro draw

 

Middlesbrough slipped to second in the Championship after playing to a 0-0 draw on the road with Watford on Saturday. It wraps up a difficult week for the club after a 2-0 loss on Tuesday to Wrexham, also on the road.

Adian Morris did what he could for Middlesbrough as he got on the ball a lot and passed extremely well (especially with long diagonals that switched the point of attack).He missed a shot in stoppage time that would have won it. Ten minutes earlier, he set up a chance for Jeremy Sarmiento.

Morris is one of the top performing American players left off the national team.

Sebastian Berhalter went 66 minutes for Middlesbrough and was not as active as he normally is. His best moment came in the 10th minute when a cross found Sarmiento who then forced a very nice save.

 

Max Arfsten came off the bench to being the second half and had a solid shift where he created several chances and was effective with this skill on the ball to dribble into the attack. This was an outing that should only continue to get him more minutes under manager Kim Hellberg moving forward. He needs to start to return to the national team.

 

Fossey out with torn ACL

 

Standard Liege captain Marlon Fossey, 28, has torn his ACL again and will moss the rest of the season.



The California-born right back had a wave of ACL issues while with his former club, Fulham, but appeared to be beyond it in recent years after moving to Standard. Now he will miss the rest of the season.

 

Dest, Pepi, & PSV back into first 

 

PSV Eindhoven moved back into first place of the Eredivisie after a 5-2 away win over 10th-place Cambuur combined with Feyenoord loosing to Heerenveen. 

Sergino Dest started at right back and played 75 minutes while Ricardo Pepi was subbed into the game in the 64th minute. 

Dest has been the best right back in the league this season by a large margin, but in this game, he was not as effective as he usually is. He didn’t create many chances and wasn’t explosive with his dribble. 

 

Pepi played the last 26 minutes but was not involved much during his time on the field. He had just 12 touches and was 8/8 in passing. The goal for Pepi is that he returns from the international window in a better position to start again for PSV. Pochettino left him off the roster for the upcoming camp so that he could remain with his club and train. He has been forced to deal with injuries to start the season, but he now has two sub appearances heading into the break. 

 

Wessah impresses for Fredrikstad

 

Gabriel Wessah, 18, is one of the more intriguing prospects in the youth national team system right now. He left the Atlanta United system to sign for Fredrikstad, a smaller club in Norway’s top division. It was definitely the road less traveled for an American prospect. 

It took a while for him to earn regular minutes, but they have started to come in recent weeks and months. 

The left footed winger, has also received a lot of attention for the way he likes to play. He loves to dribble, he loves to take defenders on, and he likes to try stuff. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, but he has been improving with his effectiveness. 

On Sunday, Wessah was at his best for Fredrickstad in a 2-2 draw with Brann. In a 79 minute shift, Wessah opened the scoring in the 52nd minute with a nice effort. 



In the 60th minute, Wessah nearly picked up an assist but Henrik Skogvols hit the post after taking a pass from the American. 

With every game, Wessah seems to be growing and confidence and making more of an impact. This was also an important draw as Fredrikstad moved four points north of the relegation playoff position.

Wessah well now return to the United States to play with the U.S U-20 team for a camp in this international window. With the way things are going, he could be an important player for the team at the U-20 World Cup next year. 

 

McKennie starts for Juventus 

 

Weston McKennie started at right midfield for Juventus against Fiorentina on Sunday after being held out midweek in the Europa League due to an adductor strain. He played 78 minutes in what ended a 2-2 draw in Florence. 

The U.S international showed some nice skill in the buildup to the first Juventus goal but his passing was rusty in this game. Normally, he is a top long range passer who can switch points of attack and quickly play the ball into the attack. In this game, he was not able to do that effectively. This has not been a problem for him this season, and this game was probably just an outlier.

Juventus was lucky to escape with a draw, Fiorentina thought they won it at the end with a goal but VAR ruled it off.

Juventus now sits seventh. McKennie will now return to the states to rejoin the national team for the first time since the World Cup.

 

Tillman returns to Leverkusen XI

 

United States national team attacking midfielder Malik Tillman made his first Bundesliga start for Bayer Leverkusen since September 5 on Sunday when he played 75 minutes in a 2–1 away win over Cologne in a derby match.

The German-American nearly scored in just the fourth minute on a play following a corner, but saw his shot from very close range saved. 

 

Despite the disappointment of failing to convert that chance, Tillman played well and helped oversee a nice win for Leverkusen that moved the club into fifth place of Germany’s top league. 

The big question obviously is whether Tillman can keep his starting spot. After the club spent $40 million to acquire him in 2025, there is pressure on him to contribute and live up to that price tag. As of now, he has not done that. But there is still time.

 

Cremaschi makes first Parma start

 

The good news for Benjamin Cremsachi on Saturday came when he was named to Parma’s starting XI for the first time this season in a home matchup against Bologna in Serie A.

The bad news for Cremaschi is that he was subbed out at halftime. It was not his fault as Parma was reduced to 10-men when left-sided (in a three-man backline) defender Abdoulaye Ndiaye was sent off in just the ninth minute. Then at halftime with the score 0-0, Parma needed to make a formational change and Cremaschi needed to make way.

 

It is tough to evaluate how Cremaschi played since the game plan had to be abandoned early in the first half, but it is easy to see him getting another chance soon. The fact he was in the starting lineup for the first time was encouraging. He managed to create a dangerous chance early when he beat two defenders to the endline to send in a cross. Then after the red card, he shifted to right back to fill the void. He is not a right back by trade but did a competent job to keep Bologna off the board. His crossing was surprisingly effective.

Parma ended up losing 2-1 and now sits just a point clear of the bottom three.

 

Borso nets four for Greenock Morton

 

In Scotland’s second tier Championship, young American forward Dylan Borso, 20, is becoming a hero for Greenock Morton FC. At the club on loan from the Chicago Fire, Borso scored four goals on Saturday in a wild 4-3 win over Stenhousemuir. It was Greenock Morton’s fourth win in a row and the club is now out of last place.

Borso’s four goal effort was even more impressive given that the club was reduced to 10 players in just the 27th minute.

Greenock Morton is one of Scotland’s oldest clubs, founded in 1874 and the club’s loyal following is in love with him and does not want him to go back to Chicago.

 


 

Yanks in France

 

Bryan Reynolds, 25, played all 90 minutes at right back for Rennes in a 2-1 loss at home to Lille on Sunday. The former FC Dallas homegrown covered a lot of ground, was aggressive, getting forward, but was ultimately unable to translate that activity into creating any major chances on the offensive side for Rennes. 

On the defensive side, he was solid and steady. But Rennes fell to eighth with the loss.

It was a disappointing result, but a decent performance from Reynolds who should remain in the mix to start for Rennes. 

Reynolds will now return to the United States to play for the United States national team for the first time in over three years. His performances in France have been impressive enough to move him beyond some very capable right backs in the player pool.

After being left off the United States national team roster yet again for November, Tim Weah put in a very good performance for Marseille on Sunday in a 2-1 away win that moved the club into fourth place of Ligue 1. 

Unlike the midweek win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League where Weah played right wing, in this game, he returned to the right back position, where he normally starts and captains the Marseille team.



Weah clearly helped Marseille to win this game as he was strong on both sides of the ball. He was 62/65 in his passing, which included 4/5 in long range passing. He played 10 balls into the attacking third. He was 3/3 in duels and wasn’t beaten defensively on any of the Lens chances. 

Weah was struggling with his confidence around the time of the World Cup and lost his spot. But if he continues to play like this more often, he should get back into the picture.

Folarin Balogun, 25, was subbed into Monaco’s 1-1 draw at Le Mans on Sunday in the 54th minute. At the time he entered, Monaco was winning 1-0.

Balogun was limited to just 12 touches during his shift and he created a little bit of danger with three touches in the Le Mans box. But for most of his time on the field, Monaco was simply focused on preserving a  1-0 lead as opposed to looking for a second. Ultimately, Monaco was unsuccessful and conceded a stoppage time equalizer to fall to seventh place with the draw. 

Tanner Tessmann, 25, played all 90 minutes in central midfield for Lyon in a 2-0 away loss to Brest on Sunday. With the result, Lyon fell to fifth place in Ligue 1.

Tessmann was the least of Lyon’s problem’s in this game as his passing was on point and was able to hit several long passes to spread out the attack. He also had five tackles and won 6/8 of his ground duels. But the team lost this game because its attackers were unable to do anything dangerous with the ball, and its fullbacks were beaten out wide defensively.

Tessmann was again left off the national team roster this international window. He has not been with the team since March and was controversially cut from the World Cup team. He has been playing well in recently weeks, but it remains to be seen if Mauricio Pochettino rates him enough to bring him back.

 

Yanks in England

 

In the Premier League, Brenden Aaronson was an unused substitute for Leeds United in an otherwise solid 1-0 win over Tottenham on Saturday at Elland Road. It is a tough time right now for Aaronson whose minutes have been sporadic for Leeds United, and he has been left off the first two U.S. national team rosters since the World Cup (where he was on the roster but barely played). Leeds temporarily moved into eighth place with the win.

Chris Richards had a tough day at the office in a 90-minute shift for Crystal Palace in a 3-1 loss at home to Liverpool on Sunday in London.

It is concerning for the national team and Crystal Palace that Richards has been in poor form now for most of the early going of this season. Crystal Palace is off to a disastrous start this season and now head into the international break sitting last in the Premier League. 

Unfortunately for Richards, he runs the risk of being benched at some point unless he can turn it around. If the club is ultimately relegated, he might end up going down with them.

Tyler Adams continued his run a positive performances with a full 90 effort on Sunday to help Bournemouth defeat Ipswich 2-1 on the road.

Running 7.5 miles, Adams led all players in distance covered. He had 4 tackles, 3 interceptions, and won 5/7 of his ground duels. Bournemouth now sits seventh in the Premier League table, and Adams is a big reason for that because of his ability to disrupt opponents. He has been one of the best players in the league in doing that over the past month.

He will now get ready to lead the U.S team this window while in the middle of a run of good form.

Antonee Robinson played 90 minutes for Fulham in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle at Craven Cottage in London. The U.S. national team left back committed a turnover that eventually led to Newcastle’s goal via a superb strike from Jacob Murphy in the 80th minute. Fulham then equalized three minutes later. Aside from that, it was a decent outing from Robinson who covered the left side of the field well and was effective getting the ball into the attack.

Fulham ends the weekend sitting 15th in the Premier League.  

In the Championship, forward Charlie Kelman started and played 75 minutes for Charlton Athletic in a 2-1 win over Sheffield United to climb to 19th place. Kelman was limited to just 15 touches, 2/7 passing, with one shot.

The calf injury that forced George Campbell off the USMNT roster for the November camp also prevented him from playing for West Brom in its win over Millwall on Saturday. West Brom remained in fifth place with the win.

Preston North End remained last in the Championship but took a step towards the daylight with an impressive 1-0 win over Southampton. Former Atlanta United left back Caleb Wiley was subbed into the game in the 64th minute to help preserve the win. He had 11 touches and was just 3/6 in his passing although Southampton has most of the possession by the time he was subbed as they pressed for an equalizer. Wiley defended well down the stretch.

Birmingham City moved into first place of the Championship after a 2-1 win over Swansea on Saturday. Unfortunately, Kristoffer Lund continues to not even make the roster for Birmingham City as he does not appear to be rated there after joining the club from Palermo over the summer (he was a regular starter on loan last season for Cologne in the Bundesliga, but the club declined its purchase option).

 

Yanks in Spain 

 

Alex Freeman was on the field for both of Villarreal’s goals in a 2-0 win over Getafe on Sunday. The U.S. national team right back subbed into the game in the 64th minute with the score 0–0 and helped the team raise its level after coming on. Freeman competed 12/12 of his passes, has two tackles, and was 2/2 in winning his ground duels. He also was part of the buildup to the opening goal, which also turned out to be the winner.

Villarreal was definitely better when the American was on the field and with the win, moved into eighth place of La Liga.

Johnny Cardoso play the last 18 minutes for Atletico Madrid in a 2-1 loss to Barcelona at home on Sunday. It was Cardoso’s first appearance since October 20 when he suffered the quad injury in a Champions League game against Stuttgart and needed to be subbed out in the first half. The New Jersey-born midfielder played well against Barcelona and brought some needed life to the game for Atletico, but ultimately it was not enough.

Pellegrino Matarazzo saw his Real Sociedad team move into fifth place of La Liga with a 1–0 win over Rayo Vallecano. The head coach from New Jersey will look to begin a climb into the Champions League top four positions of La Liga after the coming international break. Right now, Sociedad is four points behind fourth place Real Betis. 

 

Yanks in Germany

 

In the Bundesliga on Saturday, Borussia Dortmund defeated Elversberg 2-1. Cole Campbell played the final 23 minutes for Elversberg and was a terrific 5/7 with his dribbles after coming on. As one of the fastest players in the Bundesliga, he was able to use that to his advantage and in the 70th minute he forced a save with a shot from just inside the box. Elversberg fell to seventh place with the loss while Dortmund remained even on points at the top of the table but sits second on goal differential.

Campbell will now join the U.S. U-23 team in Spain for its first Olympic camp.

Mathis Albert, 17, was an unused substitute for Borussia Dortmund but will now return to the United States to join the national team.

Staying in the Bundesliga, Lennard Maloney was an unused substitute for Mainz in a 2-1 loss at home to leaders Bayern Munich.

In the 2.Bundesliga, Jordan Pefok did not feature for ninth-place Greuther Furth in a 3-0 loss to Dynamo Dresden on Friday.

Arminia Bielefeld defeated last-place Holstein Kiel 2-1 away on Saturday to move into sixth place of the 2.Bundesliga. New Jersey winger Isaiah Young came off the bench in the 64th minute and scored the winning goal in the 80th minute. On the play, Young received a pass while cutting centrally. He moved into the box and sent a shot between the keepers legs. It was his first goal in 214 minutes played this season.



Meanwhile, John Tolkin was not in the squad for Holstein Kiel as his bleak season continues. Don’t be surprised if he pushes for a move this January.

Jonathan Gomez played 67 minutes at left wingback for Vfl Osnabruck in a 1-0 loss at home to Kaiserslautern. Osnabruck fell to 13th place in the 18-team league.

 

Yanks in Poland

 

In Poland’s Ekstraklasa, Max Dietz made his first appearance for Górnik Zabrze since August when he went 90 minutes in central defense in a 2-1 win over Wieczysta Kraków. The 2024 Olympic veteran had surprisingly strong performance where he defended well, was a threat on set pieces, and passed well out of the back. With the win, Górnik Zabrze remained in second place, trailing Lech Poznan only on goal differential.

If Dietz can hold onto his starting job, this will prove to be a good move for him in getting out of the 2.Bundesliga in Germany to compete in a top division.

It was a tough day for Robert Deziel Jr. and everyone else on the Legia Warsaw backline in a 4-2 loss at home to Rakow Czestochowa on Sunday. Deziel started on the left side of the backline - which were beaten often. Shortly before being subbed out in the 84th minute, Deziel thought he scored for Legia but VAR called it back. Legia remained in third place in the Ekstraklasa. 

Deziel well now participate in the United States Olympic team camp in Spain this international window. 

Kahveh Zahiroleslam played the last six minutes for Cracovia in a 2-1 loss to Wilsa Krakow in the city’s derby match. Cracovia sits 14th in an 18-team league.

Kellyn Acosta played 73 minutes for Pogon Szczecin in a disappointing 3-0 loss on the road to relegation-battling Widzew Lodz on Saturday. Pogon Szczecin ends the weekend sitting fourth place. Normally a defensive midfielder, Acosta was filling in at right back in this game.

 

Yanks Elsewhere

 

Gianluca Busio was a late scratch for Venezia in a 2-1 win over Udinese. It was Venezia’s second win of the year and both have come without Busio, their captain, on the field.

In the Austrian Bundesliga, Donovan Pines played 90 minutes in central defense for Grazer AK in a 2-1 loss to Austria Lustenau. Grazer now sits in ninth place in the 12-team league.

Sam Adeniran is normally a starter for LASK and he scored midweek in a 4-0 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava. But on Saturday, he came off the bench for LASK in a 4-2 away win over Ried. He came into the game in the 77th minute but did not factor into the two late goals LASK scored to pull away. George Bello, however, remains out injured for LASK. LASK ends the weekend sitting third in the Austrian Bundesliga.

In the Danish Superliga, Lyngby dropped a 1-0 decision to Silkeborg to remain second from the bottom of the table. Diego Kochen started in goal for Lyngby and made just one save in the loss.

In the Bulgarian Prva Liga, former San Antonio FC winger Jose Gallegos played 88 minutes for Botev Vratsa in a 2-1 loss to Lokomotiv Plovdiv. Botev Vratsa sits second from the bottom in Bulgaria’s top league.

In the Irish Premier Division promotion/relegation playoff, Drogheda United were relegated after a 2-1 loss to UCD. Fullback Leo Burnley played 90 minutes in the loss. Drogheda’s other Americans in goalkeeper Luke Dennison and defender Owen Lambe were injured and did not play. 

SonderjyskE played well but remained in last place of the Danish Superliga after its 2-2 draw away to second-place Midtjylland on Sunday. Matthew Hoppe played the last 12 minute for SonderjyskE. He competed just 1/5 of his passes and had 0 shots. 

In the Austrian Bundesliga, fullback Drew Murray did not get off the bench for WSG Tirol in a 1-1 draw with Austrian Vienna. Murray, 20, will now head to Spain to join the U.S Olympic team for its first camp to prepare for LA 2028. 

In the Greek Super League, Erik Palmer-Brown was an unused substitute for first place Panathinaikos in a 2-1 away win over Iraklis. 

In Sweden’s Allsvenskan, Ian Hoffmann played 59 minutes at right back for 12th-place Mjallby in a 0-0 draw with Brammapojkarna. 

In the Scottish Premiership, Celtic remained in first place after a 1-0 win at home over Kilmarnock in Glasgow. Cameron Carter-Vickers played all 90 minutes for Celtic and central defense. It was a good defensive showing as he won all four of his aerial and led all players with 81 completed passes. He still remains out of the picture for the national team. Auston Trusty will return to Celtic after the international window as he attended his father’s funeral recently. But Trusty is scheduled to be with the national team next week.

The only two New Zealand clubs from Australia’s A-League met on Saturday as Auckland hosted a strong Wellington Phoenix team that had won its first three games of the season. American Bryce Duke continued to start at right wing for Wellington and played 90 minutes in a 0-0 draw. Wellington remained in first place with the result.
