Americans Abroad Weekend Rewind: Wright, Johannsson, and more

9 Shares

Haji Wright came off the bench in his first Sonderjyske appearance and made an immediate impact, and he repeated the trick in his second appearance, only with an even more impressive impact.

Wright helped his club to a 3-1 win over Aalborg, scoring two goals in the final 10 minutes. The U.S. Men’s National Team prospect came off the bench in the second-half and swung the match in Sonderjyske’s favor with the eventual winner in the 87th minute.

Wright added his second goal of the match in the 96th minute, scoring from the penalty spot to secure Sonderjyske’s second league win of the season. The 22-year-old won three of his four duels in the game, but overall continued his good start with the Danish Superliagen side. Up next for Wright is a trip to Lyngby on Oct. 4th.

Aron Johannsson scored a pair of goals as Hammarby claimed a 3-1 win over Falkenbergs on Sunday. The U.S. Men’s National Team forward continued his good run of form with the eventual winning goal in the 66th minute before a 90th minute penalty kick to ice the result. Johannsson has scored eight goals and added one assist in league play since August, leading Hammarby in goals and helping them get to a current seventh place spot in the Allsvenskan table.

Elsewhere, Sergino Dest looks to have made his final appearance for Dutch side Ajax while Duane Holmes returned to action for Derby County in a lopsided home defeat. Tyler Adams starred for RB Leipzig in a 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, John Brooks featured for Wolfsburg in Bundesliga play, and Eric Lichaj played 90 minutes in an important Turkish league win over Istanbul Basaksehir.

  1. Hines-Ikes hasn’t played since Jan 18 and has only played in 2 of his clubs last 22 matches
    ———————————
    Ethan Horvath hasn’t played since 9/25/19 sitting for the last 40 matches across all competitions.
    ———————————
    In comparison Joe Efford this season in the same league has 6 appearances has 2g and 3a for Waasland-Beveren. The club is bad and only remained up because they sued to prevent relegation due to Covid. Efford has scored or assisted on 5 of their 11 goals. I don’t think Efford is anywhere near making the NT but either are a lot of these guys.

    Reply
    • While I agree a number of the players listed aren’t near the NT, I don’t think that applies for Horvath. Ethan is a quality keeper who’s stuck in a difficult club situation. Talent wise he’s on par with Hamid, Johnson, Guzan and the rest of NT keepers.

      Reply
      • I don’t think that applies to Horvath either. I wasn’t saying that I was saying if we’re listing Mike Lansing, Gboly Arriyibi, and Ben Lederman that Joe Efford should be listed.
