Rapid Vienna were once again unable to pick up an important first win in the UEFA Europa League group stage, but it was through no real fault of Terrence Boyd.
Boyd scored a brace for Rapid Vienna at home on Thursday night, but the Austrian club was forced to settle for a 2-2 draw with KRC Genk. The U.S. Men’s National Team striker headed in both of his goals in the final five minutes of the first half to give Vienna a 2-1 lead, but Genk found an equalizer in the second half to prevent Boyd from being the hero.
The 22-year-old striker now has 10 goals across all competitions this season.
The result leaves Vienna in third place in Group G of the Europa League with just three points from four games (0-1-3). Vienna visit Grodig on Sunday in a league match.
Here are Boyd’s goals:

What do you think of Boyd’s brace? Impressed? Hoping to see him earn some significant playing time in the upcoming U.S. friendlies?
