Americans Abroad: Weekend Rewind (Cameron, Adams, Chandler and more)

Geoff Cameron scored his first goal in more than a year, Tyler Adams made his first appearance in seven months and the American duo of Zack Steffen and Alfredo Morales helped Fortuna Dusseldorf snap a six-match winless slide in this weekend’s action involving Americans Abroad.

Cameron scored the opening goal in Queens Park Rangers’ 2-2 draw with Charlton, the veteran’s first goal in more than a year.

Adams’ return to the RB Leipzig lineup was the big story of the weekend, with the 20-year-old starting at right back in his first appearance of the Bundesliga season.

Fortuna Dusseldorf desperately needed a win to climb out of the bottom two in the Bundesliga, and the U.S. Men’s National Team duo of Zack Steffen and Alfredo Morales helped deliver one, as both started in Dusseldorf’s 2-1 victory against Union Berlin. The win pushed the club out of the automatic relegation zone, and two points behind FC Cologne for 15th place and complete safety from relegation.

Timmy Chandler made his third straight start for Eintracht Frankfurt, though he couldn’t help his club avoid a third straight loss, this time to last-place club Paderborn. Eintracht has hit a hard slump heading into the winter break, but Chandler has found a good groove since recovering from injuries that kept him sidelined for the better part of a year.
