WEEKEND WRAP: 4-21-2017: 10 Goals / 2 Assists / 6 Shut Outs on a Busy 3 Days

On one of the busiest weekends this year, our American guys had a pretty successful time of things, with Americans representing in 19 countries. Sweden started with their lower leagues and it seems that our goalkeepers were ready with 3 clean sheets. Shout out to Zac Lubin for 2 clean sheets in his first 2 games, Jeff Gal gets his first shut out and Matt Pyzdrowski and (still unbeaten) Helsingborg continue their bright start to the season, and Matt had his 2nd clean sheet of the season

Lyndon Gooch played in Sunderland's  U23's and scored, Isaiah Young was on the score-sheet again and Jordan Siebatcheu had a brace as he led his team to victory. There was a first goal, by Dylan Williams in Australia for his new team, but it was in germany that we still saw the most goals with 5 goals.

So many teams are now at that point in the season that a win or loss could mean UCL or Europa or nothing at all, its a great time of the year. We plan to continue the Weekend Wrap as usual, but on busy mid-week days we will add a wrap to cover all the activity - so keep an eye open for that.
