U.S. men's national team midfielder Weston McKennie enjoyed a successful debut in the UEFA Champions League, assisting on Schalke's opening goal vs. Porto on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old Texan, who suffered a bruised knee in the USA's 1-0 win over Mexico last week, returned to action to set up Breel Embolo in the 64th minute to break a deadlock between the two sides in Germany. McKennie received the ball racing down the right channel before playing Embolo into space with a cross. The Swiss forward did the rest to open the scoring.
Porto tied it up 11 minutes later on a questionable penalty, with Otavinho converting from the spot.
