Gregg Berhalter tuned into the Red Bull Salzburg-Lille Champions League match in order to watch two of his U.S. men’s national team players go head to head, and Brenden Aaronson and Tim Weah both gave Berhalter reason to be confident they will make an impact in the October World Cup qualifiers.
Aaronson got the better of his USMNT teammate, helping Red Bull Salzburg post a 2-1 victory over Weah’s Lille. Aaronson delivered the killer pass that helped draw the opening penalty, and finished with two key passes in the group stage victory. Weah was active as well, finishing with two successful dribbles and three tackles completed.
