Americans Abroad Midweek Rewind: Joe Corona, Cameron Carter-Vickers and more

It was a very mixed week for Americans Abroad, especially those plying their trade in Mexico.

Joe Corona headlined CONCACAF Champions League play with his stunning goal, but the midfielder’s Club America was the only Mexican side to emerge victorious in CCL play this week. Rubio Rubin was the only other American to see the field in CCL competition, entering as a second half substitute in Club Tijuana’s home loss to the Red Bulls.

In England, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Tim Ream put in solid performances in Championship wins, while a Lynden Gooch-less Sunderland fell yet again to fall further and further out of the race for safety.

Meanwhile, Copa MX play continued with Jonathan Bornstein netting his penalty kick in a shootout win over Monterrey. While Landon Donovan missed out on a Club Leon win due to illness, another former MLS star in Kekuta Manneh saw the field in what ended up as a penalty kick loss for Pachuca.

  1. Joe Corona and “Rubio Rubin was the only other American to see the field in CCL competition, entering as a second half substitute in Club Tijuana’s home loss to the Red Bulls.”

    How about Tyler Adams who played against Rubin? Or Michael Bradeley for Toronto? Deuce for Seattle? Just to name a few.

    • Ah “Americans abroad”… so no MLS teams. I’ll chalk this one up to my absolute shock that 3 MOS teams won their first leg against Mexican opposition.
