Americans Abroad: Julian Green saves Greuther Furth from relegation

The on-loan attacker scored the goal that saved the 2.Bundesliga club from relegation on Sunday

Once considered to among the long list of "saviors" of American soccer, Julian Green finally got to play that role this weekend.

Green wasn't the savior for the U.S. though, but for Greuther Furth instead. The attacker scored the only goal for the 2.Bundesliga side in their 1-1 draw against FC Heidenheim on Sunday, making the difference in keeping the club up in the 2.Bundesliga for next season and turning the 22-year-old from simple loanee to club hero, at least for a day.
