[AMERICANS ABROAD] National team midfielder Ricardo Clark got his first start of the season for Eintracht Frankfurt and helped his seventh-place team beat league leader Borussia Dortmund, 1-0. Charlie Davies dressed for Sochaux’s 1-1 tie with Bordeaux but saw no action while most of the England-based Americans’ games were postponed because of bad weather.

Clark had made only three previous appearances this season for a total of 17 minutes of action. He went the full 90 as Frankfurt broke Dortmund’s 15-game undefeated streak. Also in Germany, Steve Cherundolo was back in action after leaving last week's game early with a knee injury. The Hannover captain scored an own goal.
