Christian Pulisic - Dortmund rolled over Benfica 4-0 in Champions League with Pulisic starting and right in the middle of all the action! He got the assist on 2 goals and scored the game and series winner! What a night for the 18 year old.
Paul Arriola - scored a huge goal in the Rd of 16 in Copa MX as they beat Club America 1-0. In the Quarterfinals they will host Morelia.
Geoff Cameron - again went the full 90 in the center of midfield as the went to Manchester City with Stoke and got a 0-0 result. Looks like he is back to 100%, if not 100% fitness.
