Ferencvarosi TC v Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC - UEFA Europa League First Qualifying Round

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

Christian Pulisic

After going 62 minutes in Chelsea’s exciting 2-1 Champion’s League win over Lille, Pulisic played the first 65 minutes as they fell at home to AFC Bournemouth 1-0. HIGHLIGHTS

Tim Ream

Ream played 180 minutes this past week in two losses for Fulham. The first was a 2-1 loss at Preston North End and on Sunday they fell at Brentford FC 1-0. They’ve fallen down to 6th place in the Championship, the final spot for promotion playoffs qualification. HIGHLIGHTS

Eric Lichaj

The Hull City captain also put in 180 minutes last week. They lost 2-0 at Leeds United followed by a 2-2 draw at Charlton Athletic. HIGHLIGHTS

Antonee Robinson

Wigan Athletic drew with Huddersfield Town 1-1 with Robinson playing all 90 minutes at left back. HIGHLIGHTS

Duane Holmes

Holmes got the start and went 88 minutes in the midfield as Derby County lost at home to Millwall FC 1-0. HIGHLIGHTS

Geoff Cameron

The 34-year-old started for Queens Park Rangers was subbed out in the 67th minute, just seven minutes after giving up a penalty kick. Watch how badly he gets beaten.

Lynden Gooch

In his first appearance since suffering an ankle injury in October, Gooch came for the final 18 minutes as Sunderland drew with Blackpool FC 1-1. He picked up a yellow card after ten minutes.

Germany

Weston McKennie

The Schalke 04 man dislocated his shoulder after just 13 minutes in a 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. It was a very Rookie-of-the-Year-like landing and we all know how serious that can be. HIGHLIGHTS

Oh no.

John Brooks

Brooks picked up a yellow card in a 90 minute performance as Wolfsburg beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1. HIGLIGHTS

Zack Steffen

The Fortuna Düsseldorf keeper had a good match against RB Leipzig until the 76th minute. He had a few saves including a nice double-save. But then he was beaten near post and left face down on the ground as he pondered what had just happened. HIGHLIGHTS

Jann George

George went 80 minutes as Jahn Regensburg fell at Erzgebirge Aue 1-0.

Terrence Boyd

The Hallescher FC man played 90 minutes up top in a 5-2 loss against a totally real and not-made-up team named Wurzburger Kickers.

Timmy Chandler

The 29-year-old had barely seen the field in recent months, but got 90 minutes for Eintracht Frankfurt in that 1-0 loss at Schalke. He had three tackles, the most in the match. HIGHLIGHTS

Turkey

Tyler Boyd

Boyd played 90 minutes for Besiktas in an ugly 4-0 Europa League loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday. He was then on the bench over the weekend as Besiktas fell 2-0 vs Yeni Malatyaspor.

Italy

Andrija Novakovich

Frosinone got the 2-0 win over Pescara with Novakovich playing 56 minutes. He was subbed out after losing possession three times, the most in the match.
