Three days after making his return to the Reading starting lineup, American defender Matt Miazga played 120 minutes on Tuesday for the Royals against Premier League opposition.

Miazga got the start for Mark Bowen’s side, however could not help Reading from avoiding a 2-1 FA Cup fifth round defeat to Sheffield United. It was a positive sight for Miazga though after he returned last weekend from a month-long injury. The centerback completed 80% of his passes while winning eight of 11 duels on the evening. He won three aerial battles and made three recoveries against several talented Premier League forwards. Reading eventually lost to a 105th minute game winning goal from Billy Sharp and will now refocus their sights on EFL Championship play this Saturday at Birmingham City.

Timmy Chandler started and played 77 minutes for Eintracht Frankfurt in a 2-0 German Cup win over Werder Bremen. It was the club’s first win since a 4-1 Europa League victory over Red Bull Salzburg which now sees Frankfurt wait their opponent in the semifinals.

Andrija Novakovich also started for Frosinone, helping the team to a 2-2 road draw at Livorno. Novakovich completed 81% of his passes while winning six of his 11 duels and winning two fouls.
