Jonathan Gonzalez and Monterrey advanced to the Liga MX final on Sunday with yet another resounding win, booking a match against a fellow American with a trophy on the line.
After narrowly taking the first leg against Morelia, Gonzalez and Monterrey stormed to a 4-0 second leg win in Sunday’s semifinal clash. Now, Gonzalez and co. look ahead to a clash with Jose Torres’ Tigres in the finale following a 3-0 thumping of Club America over the weekend.
In Germany, John Brooks was the headliner with a magnificent defensive performance. The U.S. Men’s National Team centerback stood tall in the Wolfsburg defense en route to a 3-0 win over Borussia Monchengbladbach on Saturday.
Elsewhere, Christian Pulisic and Borussia Dortmund settled for a draw, Matt Miazga and Vitesse fell to a difficult defeat and Weston McKennie earned yet another start for Schalke.

So does this mean Yedlin has lost his starting role with Newcastle? I saw in an article Saturday that he’s had some really rough outings the last few games for them.
At some point Bobby Wood is gonna have to score for Hamburg…
