Romain Gall got his first taste of Swedish Soccer in 2016-17, making 26 appearances in all competitions for GIF Sundsvall.
The 23-year-old American wasted no time earning his first point of the season, registering the game tying assist in Sundsvall’s 2-2 draw with Malmo on Friday.
After seeing their 1-0 second-half lead disappear, the hosts had to fight back for any chance at a point.
Gall picked up a loose ball inside of the box and played a perfect assist to Maic Sema who scored in the 86th minute. Sema’s close-range finish gave Sundsvall their first points against Malmo since April 2016.
MÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅL!!!!!! 2-2 MAIC SEMA!

In his first two league appearances of the Allsvenskan campaign, Gall has played every minute for Sundsvall and will hope for more playing time as the season continues. Gall played for both the United States U-18 and U-20 teams but hasn’t earned a cap since 2015.
Sundsvall are next in action on Tuesday, April 17th at home against Trelleborg.
I thought the kid has lots of skills but his issue was lack of discipline, he would miss the correct play every time.
The knock on Gall was always attitude after being release by Crew and NYFC passed after a trial. Give him credit he went to the Swedish 2nd Division and has now worked his way into the first division.
