Americans Abroad Wednesday Rewind: Christian Pulisic, Jonathan Gonzalez and more

While one American and his team moved a step closer towards elimination from a major competition, another took a major leap with a resounding win in a domestic tournament.

Christian Pulisic’s Borussia Dortmund is all but eliminated from Champions League play following a 1-1 draw with APOEL on Wednesday. With the result, Dortmund will need to win its next two games while Real Madrid drops two straight if the German club hopes to advance to the knockout round. However, a drop into the Europa League is the most likely scenario for Pulisic and co.

In Mexico, Jonathan Gonzalez and Monterrey fared much better as they picked up a resounding Copa MX quarterfinal win over Jorge Villafana, Ventura Alvarado and Santos Laguna. Next up for Gonzalez and Monterrey is a clash with Club America, who inched past Jonathan Bornstein’s Queretaro on penalty kicks.
