After last weekend served as the year’s best weekend yet for Americans abroad, positive activity was scarce this time around.
Fabian Johnson and DeAndre Yedlin returned to their respective team’s starting lineups, but neither them or any other American abroad managed to put the ball in the back of the net.
To make matters worse, Matt Miazga left Reading’s match on Saturday with an apparent ankle injury.
