He may have only played 13 minutes on Sunday, but Benny Feilhaber's second-half cameo was enough to impress fans and pundits alike.
The Sporting Kansas City midfielder made his long-awaited national team return in a 0-0 friendly draw against Serbia, adding verve and creativity to the U.S. attack during the final quarter-hour. Feilhaber's first cap since February 2014 saw him finish tied atop the MLSsoccer.com player ratings, which also put in a good word for midfielder-turned-right back Graham Zusi.
"Back in the USMNT fold after four years on the outside looking in, Feilhaber quickly proved he can still ask questions of the opposing defense," wrote Greg Seltzer.
