Americans Abroad Weekend Rewind: Novakovich, Ream, and more

For the second week in a row, Andrija Novakovich put in a Man of the Match performance for Italian Serie B side Frosinone.

Novakovich started, scored the game-winning goal, and played 90 minutes as Frosinone defeated Salernitana on Saturday. With a draw looking ever more likely, Novakovich came up with the goods as he scored his third league goal of the season. Nicolas Hass created enough space to cross a ball in and Novakovich headed in off the post to keep Frosinone in second place in the league table.

Frosinone’s unbeaten run in league play extends to eight matches with six wins in a row moving them three points clear of third place Crotone. Novakovich’s strong 2020 so far could end him some notice for the U.S. Men’s National Team’s March matches against Wales and the Netherlands.

It was an important win for Fulham who remain in the race for automatic promotion back to the Premier League.

  1. Why was Nova team game not canceled? They cancelled all the Serie A games due to Corona Virus. Very annoyed Inter and Juventus got cancelled.

  2. 17 yr old American goalkeeper Damian Las also started and played 90+ in that same Fulham u23 match as Fossey and de la Torre, keeping a clean sheet in his u23 debut!

    • also: Mix Diskerud’s loan to Ulsan ended in December. He’s been trialing with Stabaek for the last couple of weeks.
