It was a good weekend for many Americans in Europe, with multiple players finding goals and Bobby Wood delivering a key assist
John Brooks had to wait over a year between his previous two Bundesliga goals, so after the defender found the back of the net March 18 against Koln, it looked like a safe bet to assume he wouldn’t score again in the league for a while.
But Brooks bucked those trends Sunday, as he opened the scoring for Hertha Berlin against Augsburg. In the 12th minute, a partially cleared corner fell to Valentin Stocker. The Swiss international delivered a drive into the area and Brooks redirected it home for the 1-0 lead.
