The German side showed they meant business as they stormed into the lead five minutes into the second half after the first 45 minutes failed to provide any goal.

While it was looking like it was going to be a long night and the game would extend into extra time, both teams looked to the penalty shootout, RB Leipzig midfielder Sabitzer landed a spectacular pass to Angelino Tasende who served Tyler Adams at the edge of the area. Adams kicked and saw the ball deflect into the net in the 88th minute. Adams –  primarily a midfielder – American football player …
