Americans Abroad Weekend Rewind: Dest, Miazga, and more

2 Shares

Sergino Dest got his first crack in Ronald Koeman’s starting lineup on Saturday, but unfortunately couldn’t help Barcelona avoid a shocking defeat.

Dest played 90 minutes at left back in a 1-0 road loss at Getafe, filling in for the injured Jordi Alba. The former Ajax defender won six of his duels in the match, while completing 81% of his passes. He successfully completed three dribbles and made five recoveries, but suffered a loss in his first start with his new team. The 19-year-old Dest could retain his starting spot this week as Barcelona hosts Ferencvaros in its UEFA Champions League group stage opener.

Aron Johannsson continued his impressive season with Hammarby, scoring his 12th goal of the season in a 4-2 win over Mjallby. Johannsson got a bit of luck on his goal, slotting home a mistake from Mjallby goalkeeper Carljohan Eriksson. The striker finished with two shots on goal and helped Hammarby extend its unbeaten run to three matches.

Christian Pulisic returned to the Chelsea starting lineup on Saturday, playing 87 minutes in a 3-3 draw with Southampton. Pulisic helped set up Chelsea’s third goal of the match, put away by Kai Havertz. Overall, it wasn’t Pulisic’s best performance in the blue and white of Chelsea, but it was a positive step full season debut after recovering from a hamstring injury in last summer’s FA Cup Final.

Elsewhere, Matt Miazga made his Anderlecht debut on Sunday while Haji Wright scored once again for Sonderjyske. Christian Cappis returned to Hobro’s starting lineup in league play, Tyler Adams and Giovanni Reyna both impressed in Bundesliga action, and Ian Harkes helped Dundee United to a point against Aberdeen.

    • I don’t know about WSL. However, when Bob Bradley was at Le Havre multiple people would comment every week demanding he be added. After Marsch’s speech against Liverpool demands for his inclusion began. I don’t know about Matarazzo since most people hadn’t heard of him until last Spring.

  1. So Christian Cappis played? I guess his visa issues are cleared up. I wrote earlier that the team purposely failed to renew his visa…If the issues are cleared up, Christian has no choice but to feel gratitude and play….

  2. Why is Timothy Tillman on this list? He is not American, he and I both consider him German. He has never appeared for any USA youth national team and backstabbed us when he was suppose to join Tab Ramos U-20 side and instead joined the German U-19/U-20.
