This past weekend saw American players playing outside of MLS appear one more time for their club before the FIFA international window begins. Some players were called up to the USMNT for upcoming World Cup qualifying and have already made the trip to the United States for the upcoming two matches. Before those matches happen, let’s take a look at how they fared over the weekend:
Bobby Wood
We start off with Bobby Wood, who smashed home his first goal of the season for Hamburger SV. Not that it was anything special, but it’s good to see him get on the board and hopefully he’ll continue the trend for Hamburg.
Right place, right time! @BobbyS_Wood buries his first goal of the season.

Christian Pulisic
With Ousmane Dembele gone at Borussia Dortmund, Pulisic is set for not just more minutes but more responsibility. He went the full 90 as BvB defeated Hertha Berlin 2-0.

Matt Miazga
Matt Miazga began the game on the bench but came on for the second half as Vitesse lost to AZ Alkmaar 2-1. He also picked up a yellow card in the 87’.
Geoff Cameron
