[AMERICANS ABROAD] Three Americans played Thursday in the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals, and their clubs all exited. Only Jermaine
Jones' Schalke 04 managed to earn at least a tie, but the 2-2 result was not enough to make up for its 4-2 loss at Athletic Bilbao.
Spanish clubs were the opposition for the
other two Americans to start on Thursday.
Atletico Madrid beat Steve Cherundolo's Hannover 2-1 for the second time, while Valencia quickly made up
for its 2-1 loss to Jozy Altidore's AZ in Alkmaar with two goals by French defender Adil Rami in the first 17 minutes,
and it went on to win the second leg, 4-0.
Oguchi Onyewu's Sporting Lisbon completed the final four with a 1-1 draw at Metalist Kharkiv that sent
it through, 3-2, on aggregate.
Onyewu remains sidelined while recovering from his latest knee injury.
