Brenden Aaronson showcased his skills in the United States’ recent 2-1 victory over Paraguay, putting on a strong performance in his 55th senior cap for the national team. The Leeds United forward played a crucial role on the right side of the USMNT attack, making 46 touches and completing 19 accurate passes to help break down Paraguay’s defense. Aaronson also impressed with his defensive contributions, making two interceptions, three recoveries, and winning six duels in a hard-fought midfield battle.
