[AMERICANS ABROAD] Defender Michael Orozco scored his second goal of the season, in San Luis’ 4-0 win over Chivas Guadalajara, but otherwise it proved a disappointing weekend for Americans who ply their trade abroad. Oguchi Onyewu remained on the AC Milan bench and Michael Bradley sat out a second straight game for Borussia Moenchengladbach.

Gladbach coach Michael Frontzeck had benched Bradley in Gladbach’s last game, citing that the young American needed an attitude adjustment, but said that he left Bradley out of Saturday’s 1-0 loss to FC Nuremberg because Bradley had just returned from national team duty after playing in Wednesday’s U.S. win over El Salvador.

In Mexico, Jose Francisco Torres played the second half in Pachuca’s 2-1 win over UNAM. Edgar Castillo was cautioned during his 90-minute appearance for Tigres in a 2-1 loss to Morelia. And Marco Vidal played 90 minutes in Indios’ 1-0 loss to Toluca.
