Sargent scores with first touch on Bundesliga debut
Josh Sargent had to wait for his Bundesliga debut. He did not have to wait long for his first goal.
The 18-year-old United States international was rewarded for his efforts in training as Werder Bremen head coach Florian Kohfeldt named Sargent to the matchday squad for Friday’s game against Fortuna Dusseldorf, a first in the Bundesliga for the teenager.
Sargent started the match on the bench for Werder, but was given his first professional minutes in the second half when he entered for Milot Rashica in the 76th minute with his side up 2-1.
