Americans Abroad Midweek Rewind: Adams, Gall, and more

Wednesday was a disappointing result for RB Leipzig in Bundesliga play, but  it ended up being a strong outing for midfielder Tyler Adams.

Adams got the start for Julian Nagelsmann’s side and played 90 minutes in a 2-2 draw with Fortuna Dusseldorf. The versatile midfielder completed 91% of his passes while also winning five of six individual duels. Adams also made five recoveries and was one of Leipzig’s better performers on the evening. The third place side dropped points after conceding a pair of goals in the final minutes and will next face second place Borussia Dortmund at home this weekend. Adams will hope to retain his starting spot in what will could be a massive encounter for the runners-up spot behind Bayern Munich.

Romain Gall made his competitive debut for Norwegian side Stabaek after joining on-loan from Malmo. The American winger got the start on Matchday 1 in what ended up being a 0-0 draw with Mjondalen. Gall forced one shot on goal, but only completed 64% of his passes while also losing seven of nine individual battles. Gall will likely need time with his new teammates to gain chemistry going forward. Stabaek next travel to Valarenga on Sunday in hopes of picking up their first win of the new season.
