Kevin Paredes scored his first Bundesliga goal against Werder Bremen at the start of 2023 and enjoyed similar success on Sunday in his latest head-to-head showdown.
Paredes started and scored his second goal for Wolfsburg in a 2-2 league draw at the Volkswagen Arena. The former DC United homegrown has been in-and-out of the starting lineup this season, but rewarded manager Niko Kovac in a big way on Sunday. Paredes’ close-range finish in the 59th minute boosted Wolfsburg in front 2-1 with 30 minutes to play. It was his second goal this year and his first since January 9, which also came against Sunday’s opponents.
Paredes was substituted off in the 84th minute after winning eight duels and drawing a match-high four fouls from his left midfield position. The 20-year-old scored with his only shot on target, helping Wolfsburg walk away with one point on the afternoon.
Wolfsburg will now try and snap its four-match league winless run on Nov. 10 against Borussia Moenchengladbach.
In England, Haji Wright scored twice for Coventry City. Matt Turner was benched at Nottingham Forest. Antonee Robinson and Tim Ream both started in Fulham’s 1-0 loss to Manchester United.
In Germany, Paxten Aaronson got the last laugh against brother Brenden in Bundesliga play. Gio Reyna and John Brooks did not feature for their clubs. Jordan Pefok scored for Borussia Moenchengladbach before suffering an injury.
In Italy, Yunus Musah started for AC Milan but Christian Pulisic missed the match through injury.
In Scotland, Dante Polvara‘s assist helped Aberdeen reach the Scottish League Cup Final. Cameron Carter-Vickers returned to action for Celtic in league play.
Elsewhere, Mark McKenzie started but Genk lost to Royal Antwerp. Alex Zendejas scored once in Club America’s Liga MX victory. Bryan Reynolds and Griffin Yow both featured for Belgian side Westerlo. Julian Green scored once and assisted once for Greuther Furth. Ricardo Pepi and Malik Tillman both scored for PSV.
