USMNT's Josh Sargent Scores for Werder Bremen in DFB Pokal

Josh Sargent is back on the board for Werder Bremen after a bit of a hiatus.

The U.S. men's national team forward doubled his side's lead against Hannover 96 in the DFB Pokal's second round, en route to a 3-0 victory. Sargent was just about on the offside line when Nikolas Moisander played him through, and he finished from close range for the 32nd-minute strike.

The goal was Sargent's first in nearly two months, with the last coming on Oct. 31 in the Bundesliga against Eintracht Frankfurt–his only league goal in 12 starts this season. It's his second goal in the DFB Pokal competition, with the first coming in the first-round win over fourth-tier Carl Zeiss Jena on Sept.
