John Tolkin needed just three Bundesliga appearances to register his first goal contribution.
Tolkin started and assisted once as Holstein Kiel tied Bochum 2-2 on Sunday. The U.S. men’s national team left back delivered his best outing yet for his new club, teeing up David Zec for Kiel’s equalizer in the second half.
Not only did Tolkin add his name to the stat-sheet, but he also delivered a strong shift defensively. He won three duels, made eight clearances, and drew one foul from his left wing back position.
The 22-year-old now has back-to-back starts under his belt and will aim to keep his starting spot going forward. Holstein Kiel will next visit Eintracht Frankfurt on February 16.
In Spain, Johnny Cardoso started but Real Betis lost at Celta Vigo.
In England, Tyler Adams helped Bournemouth advance in the FA Cup. Ethan Horvath also excelled in FA Cup play. Josh Sargent scored his fourth goal in the past two weeks.
In Italy, Christian Pulisic assisted twice in AC Milan’s road win. Weston McKennie and Tim Weah both featured in Juventus’ victory.
In France, Tanner Tessmann and Lyon won while Mark McKenzie left Toulouse’s draw at halftime.
Elsewhere, Alex Zendejas scored once in Club America’s Liga MX win. Lily Yohannes assisted in Ajax’s rivalry win over Feyenoord. Bryan Reynolds went the distance for Westerlo. George Bello logged 90 minutes in LASK’s goal-less draw. Taylor Booth made his debut for FC Twente.
