Werder striker Josh Sargent and the USA national team gained an important three points in the CONCAF Nations League. The 19-year-old was on the scoresheet in the win against Cuba. Meanwhile, Benjamin Goller was in the starting XI for the Germany U20s but Jiri Pavlenka and Michael Lang remained on their respective teams’ benches. We take a look back at the weekend’s international matches:

The USA celebrated a massive 7-0 win against Cuba on Friday night. Josh Sargent played the full 90 minutes and scored his side’s sixth goal. They had only managed one point from their previous three games, so the victory was extremely important for their CONCAF Nations League campaign. 

The Czech Republic also took some essential 2020 European Championship qualifying points from their match against England. Despite going 1-0 down, they came back to win 2-1. Werder keeper Pavlenka did not play. 

Benjamin Goller will also be celebrating three points. Werder’s attacking youngster started for Germany U20s in their 1-0 win in Switzerland before being substituted by coach Maunel Baum in the 62nd minute.

On a less positive note, Michael Lang and the Swiss national team suffered a late defeat at the hands of Denmark on Saturday evening. After a close game, Yusuf Poulsen scored in the 84th minute to win the game for the Danes. The Werder right back was on the bench for the game.
