This week, Gio Reyna announced himself on the world stage with a fabulous goal. Find out how he fared among many others in this week’s USMNT abroad.

It’s been a great start to 2020 for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Timothy Chandler. The U.S. Men’s National Team right-back hopeful has scored four goals since returning from the Bundesliga’s winter break and was a difference-maker in their 5-0 win against Augsburg on Friday. Chandler scored the first two goals of the match to help his team cruise to victory.

The aforementioned Chandler was not the only USMNT player to get a goal. Duane Holmes of Derby County was on the mark against Swansea City.

His 64th-minute strike helped the English club pull off a 3-2 come from behind victory. In midweek FA Cup action, Holmes scored in a 4-2 win over Northampton Town to secure a place in the next round of the competition.

Perhaps the biggest moment of the week was Gio Reyna’s first senior goal for Borussia Dortmund. The teenage sensation scored a top-class goal in the DFB-Pokal match against Werder Bremen.

Chris Durkin, on loan from DC United, scored his first goal for Sint-Truiden in the Belgian top flight. Sint-Truiden won the match 5-2. Shaq Moore also got on the scoresheet for CD Tenerife in a 4-2 win in Spain’s second division. And finally, USMNT prospect Chris Richards scored for Bayern Munich II in a 4-2 win in a German third division match.

How the rest fared

  • Alfredo Morales registered an assist in Fortuna Düsseldorf‘s 5-2 win in the DFB Pokal. He would play all 90 minutes in Düsseldorf’s 1-1 draw with Wolfsburg in Bundesliga action over the weekend.
  • DeAndre Yedlin played the entire 120 minutes of Newcastle United in their 3-2 win over Oxford United to reach the next phase of the FA Cup.
