We are back at it again after the international break and the Yanks gave us plenty of action to follow. Goals from Jann George, Terrence Boyd, and Toni Payne lead the way, but Sergiño Dest also added an assist for Ajax. Emmanuel Sabbi produced a couple must-see highlights over in Denmark as well.
Let’s get to the Yanks Abroad from last weekend:
Germany
Jann George
George got his fourth goal of the season over the weekend by smashing home the third goal of a 3-1 Jahn Regensburg win over FC Heidenheim. He started on the bench but came on the pitch in the 68th minute before scoring in the 85th. HIGHLIGHTS
FotMob: 7.2 | WhoScored: 7.1
5/9 passing | 1/3 shots on target | 1/3 duels | 1/1 dribble | 1 interception
Terrence Boyd
After subbing on for the final five minutes, Boyd scored his eighth goal of the season. His Hallescher FC side got the 3-0 shutout win at Carl Zeiss Jena. HIGHLIGHTS
Weston McKennie
The Schalke 04 man came on for the last 17 minutes of a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see our Yanks face off as it was a quick appearance for McKennie and Sargent was left unused on the other bench.
Zach Steffen
Steffen and Fortuna Düsseldorf were destroyed by Bayern Munich 4-0. Steffen was credited with an error that led to the fourth goal. A cross from the end line snuck right passed him and his defender for an easy tap in from Philippe Coutinho.
FotMob: 3.6 | WhoScored: 4.5
1 save | 6 throws | 1 high claim | 17/28 passing
Alfredo Morales
Alfredo Morales, Zack Steffen’s teammate, obviously also had a rough match as well. The loss has Düsseldorf in 16th place (relegation qualification) with just 11 points through 12 matches.
FotMob: 4.8 | WhoScored: 5.9
1 chance created | 45% passing | 2 blocked shots | 4/9 duels | 3 clearances | dispossessed three times

FotMob: 7.4 | WhoScored: 7.5
73% passing | 2/4 long balls | 5/8 duels | 11 clearances | 1/2 tackles
Bobby Wood
He actually got the start at striker for Hamburger SV’s 2-1 win over Dynamo Dresden but was subbed out after failing to unleash a single shot in 60 minutes.
FotMob: 6.4 | WhoScored: 6.1
13 touches | 7/8 passing | 3/7 duels | 1 clearance | 0/1 dribble
Netherlands
Sergiño Dest
Ajax got the 4-1 win over Heracles as Dest assisted one but also had a mistake that led to the lone goal for the away side. He came on in the 67th minute and had his shot redirected into the goal in the 87th minute. But in stoppage time he was the last man back on a corner kick. He lost the ball at midfield then lost the foot race to concede the breakaway goal.
FotMob: 6.6 | WhoScored: 6
3 chances created | 1 blocked shot | 16/18 passing | 2/3 duels | 1/1 dribble | 0/1 tackle
Haji Wright
The 21-year-old played 90 minutes on the left wing as VVV-Venlo beat FC Twente by a final of 2-1. He was the most fouled player (4) in the match.
FotMob: 7 | WhoScored: 7.3
3 chances created | 64% passing | 8/17 duels | 2/2 dribbles | dispossessed twice

Emmanuel Sabbi kom desværre ikke på måltavlen i dagens kamp mod FCK, men denne detalje fra amerikaneren kan vist godt tåle et gensyn #Sldk #HobroIK pic.twitter.com/JwWHJsUCcr
