American defender Joe Scally recorded his first Bundesliga goal and assist in the month of October. Scally picked up an assist on Halloween with a spooky good cross to give Borussia Monchengladbach the lead against VfL Bochum.
The return of professional women’s soccer to Kansas City was slightly anti-climactic as the city’s new NWSL team struggled to find form in its return season finishing last in the league.
