Americans Abroad: Damion Downs, Christian Pulisic deliver in preseason matches

Damion Downs is quickly making a positive impression for his new club Southampton.

Downs scored his first goal for the club in Saturday’s 2-1 friendly loss to Espanyol. U.S. men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino was in attendance to see his player get off the mark for the English second-tier club.

The summer signing’s one-time finish nestled into the top-left corner.

Downs, who joined Southampton from German side Koln FC this summer, will aim to make his EFL Championship debut on August 9 against Wrexham.
