With all these injuries this week, I had to reach a bit for a leader of this week’s Yanks Abroad. Aaron Schoenfeld is an American-Israeli striker, although has never been called in to either team. But, he scored one of only a few goals by United States internationals this week so he leads the way. Mallory Weber & Simone Charley got on the score sheet in the Australian W-League as well.
Let’s get to the Yanks Abroad from the last week:
Israel
Aaron Schoenfeld
The 29-year-old Tennessee native scored for Maccabi Tel Aviv in the 11th minute of a 1-1 draw against Sektzia Nes Tziona. The win has them three points clear atop Ligat ha’Al and undefeated through 14 matches.
Australia
Mallory Weber
Weber got a goal and an assist for Adelaide in a 3-2 loss at the Brisbane Roar. HIGHLIGHTS
Simone Charley
On loan from the Portland Thorns, Charley went 90 minutes and scored for Canberra in a 1-1 draw against Perth.
England
