As far as first-team debuts go, Josh Sargent's couldn't have been any better.
Making his debut in the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen, Sargent, the U.S. men's national team's 18-year-old forward, scored seconds after coming off the bench with his first touch to pad the club's lead vs. Fortuna Dusseldorf on Friday.
Sargent, who had scored seven goals in 12 appearances with Werder Bremen's reserves, made the most of the opportunity granted by manager Florian Kohfeldt when he came on in place of Milot Rashica. The U.S. rising star was quick to head home a ball that had popped up in the air right on the goal line, giving Werder Bremen a 3-1 lead in the 78th minute.
