Rokas Pukstas sets up winner for Hajduk Split
Croatian side Hajduk Split picked up a key three points on Saturday in a 1-0 triumph over Osijek.
American midfielder Rokas Pukstas set up the eventual winning goal, which was scored by Marko Livaja. Livaja laid off a pass to Pukstas roughly 30 yards away from the Osijek net before Pukstas spun and played Livaja upfield with a cutting pass.
Livaja made no mistake by scoring in the 56th minute, delivering the lone goal of the match for either team.
Pukstas, who was linked with a potential move to Serie A side Parma this summer, looks to be staying in Croatia for the first half of the season.
Hajduk Split sits second in the 1. HNL division standings, but could drop to third pending Rijeka’s result against Dinamo Zagreb on Sunday.
Damion Downs who played for the U23s in their June camp had a goal and an assist for Koln in 2Bundesliga Sunday. Ok apparently they didn’t give an assist because the keeper got a slight touch as the forward rounded him but Downs pass definitely led to a goal.
Morris may or may not have scored a screamer for ‘Boro…credited as an own goal, because it took a deflection and it’s hard to tell if it was on target. In the highlights he made some great passes in the 1st half. Fans in the FB comments already love him.
He plays hard every minute, makes the right pass, and is always looking to progress the ball. What’s not to like?
Wonder which comes first the roster or the pictures of guys arriving? Probably no Turner, Trusty, Tessmann, or McKenzie since the rumor is they waited to see what guys got moves so they could stay and get adjusted to new clubs.
Pulisic has started in three different positions. Milan have played three games. 0-2-1. It seems Fonseca doesn’t know what to do with him.
Fonseca is going ro find himself on the hot seat of he can’t get this team gelling better. They are literally playing the same way they were under Pioli. Pioli was unceremoniously let go. There was no need to change the head coach.
