As players all over the world rejoined their clubs following the international break, four Americans sealed big returns with goal-scoring performances.
In the Bundesliga, both Aron Johannsson and Bobby Wood found the back of the net in losses. Johannsson’s tally came from the penalty spot, although it wasn’t enough to overcome Augsburg in a 2-1 loss. Wood fired Hamburg’s lone finish in a 3-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen.
Danny Williams and DeAndre Yedlin fired goals of their own in English League Championship play. Williams stepped up and buried a 95th-minute penalty to seal a win over Ipswich Town. Yedlin’s finish was also a late one, sealing a 2-0 win over Derby County.
Elsewhere, Josh Gatt made his long-awaited return to the field for Molde following several injury-plagued seasons. The winger entered as a 67th minute substitute in Molde’s 0-0 draw with Haugesund.
