Americans Abroad Weekend Rewind: Shaq Moore, Keaton Parks and more

It was a big weekend for young Americans Abroad as several experienced personal milestones while others put forth major performances.

Keaton Parks and Shaq Moore headlined the weekend’s action as each made a memorable debut. Parks joined the Benfica first team for the first time, helping to create a goal in a 2-0 cup win. Moore, meanwhile, played all 90 minutes for Levante over the weekend in his first La Liga start, a 2-0 upset of Las Palmas.

In Germany, Weston McKennie put together a standout performance as Schalke cruised past Hamburg, 2-0. Meanwhile in Mexico, Jonathan Gonzalez was also an anchor in midfield as Monterrey picked up a win over Tigres to finish top of the table heading towards the Liguilla.

Elsewhere, DeAndre Yedlin and Cameron Carter-Vickers provided assists while Alfredo Morales fired a game-winning goal for Ingolstadt.
