Joe Gyau scores first goal in over two years, posts emotional Instagram message

Today in the German third division an American scored a game-winning goal. While that brief summary may not seem newsworthy, who scored it and what it means may make you smile.

Joe Gyau is the who. The 24-year-old winger who was playing minutes for Borussia Dortmund’s first team less than three years ago has scored his first goal in nearly that much time. The oft-injured Gyau is now with SG Sonnenhof Großaspach and scored the match-winning goal in stoppage time against Osnabrück.

Weirdly enough, video clips from the German third division aren’t as commonly available as you may think.
