Yunus Musah registered his fourth consecutive start for La Liga side Valencia and the U.S. men’s national team midfielder continued to impress with his latest outing against Sevilla.
Musah played 87 minutes on Wednesday as Valencia earned one point in a 1-1 draw at the Mestalla. The 19-year-old led all players with 10 duels won, three completed dribbles, and two won tackles, continuing to shine as his midfield position. The hosts were able to equalize before halftime thanks to Goncalo Guedes’ finish and hang on for a first league point since mid-December. Musah’s stellar run of form will not only have Valencia fans excited for the second half of the season, but also have USMNT fans prepared to see Musah in this month’s upcoming World Cup Qualifiers.
Tyler Adams remained in RB Leipzig’s starting lineup this week, playing 90 minutes in a DFB Pokal Round of 16 win over Hansa Rostock. Adams excelled in the heart of Domenico Tedesco’s midfield, completing the most dribbles (4), delivering the most tackles (2), and winning the most duels (9) by any player. Adams also completed 94% of his passes as RB Leipzig claimed a third-consecutive win to start the new year.
