Andrija Novakovich’s 18th league goal of the season highlights the weekend that was for USMNT players abroad. Here’s how they all fared.
As mentioned, American abroad and prospective USMNT Andrija Novakovich was once again on the score sheet for Telestar in the Dutch second division. The striker has an impressive 18 goals in 29 appearances in the Eerste Divisie. His week would get even better as he received his first national team call-up.
Novakovich wasn’t the only American player to find the back of the net. Terrence Boyd scored for Darmstadt in the Bundesliga 2 in the 18th minute against Nurnberg.
