Americans Abroad Player of the Week: Paxten Aaronson

It hasn’t been a memorable season for Dutch side Vitesse but Sunday will go down as one of the enjoyable moments for Paxten Aaronson and his teammates.

Aaronson registered a brace in a 3-2 home triumph over Fortuna Sittard, earning SBI Americans Abroad Player of the Week honors. The U.S. men’s national team midfielder logged 90 minutes, scoring twice on three shots on target, and winning six duels. Aaronson opened the scoring in the 22nd minute before delivering the eventual winning goal in the 76th minute.
