After several months on the sideline, John Brooks finally made his Bundesliga debut for his new club.
The Wolfsburg appeared in his first league match of the season, going a full 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw with Weston McKennie’s Schalke on Saturday. The match comes on the heels of an extended injury absence stemming from a thigh injury suffered in a season-opening DFB-Pokal match.
In Spain and England, another pair of young Americans had major moments as Shaq Moore made his La Liga debut for Levante while Luca de la Torre got into Championship action for Fulham.
Elsewhere, Jonathan Gonzalez and Monterrey cruised to yet another win, Christian Pulisic and Borussia Dortmund fell to Hannover in a goalfest and Alfredo Morales followed up a goal-scoring appearance last week with an assist this time out.
