Defender Nets Equalizer in Eventual Defeat
The 22-year-old American defender Kristoffer Lund found the target in Serie B action on Sunday, as Palermo suffered defeat against Citadella to remain firmly in mid-table. The goal marked his first of the current campaign, adding to his two-goal tally from last season. His performance against Citadella showcased his growing confidence, with an impressive 89% passing accuracy and two created chances during the match.
While Antonee Robinson remains firmly established as the USMNT's first-choice left-back, Lund's development in Serie B demonstrates his potential. Missing out on November's national team camp hasn't deterred the young defender, who remains focused on his progression at Palermo. The fullback has reclaimed his spot on the left side of defense over the last month with three stats in the last four matches. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Lund's combination of youth and growing experience in European football keeps him in the conversation for future national team consideration.
