Scores goal in win over Mexico

Tillman scored a superb goal before being forced off in the 88th minute of Saturday's 3-0 win over Mexico, likely due to fatigue.

Analysis: Tillman has scored two goals in his last three games for the United States, and the late substitution looks like a precaution after a heavy workload rather than a fitness concern. He has one assist, four chances created, five interceptions and two tackles in four appearances across all competitions for Leverkusen this season, and he should be available when the club resumes play after the international break.

Supplies late assist

Tillman assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus FC Augsburg.

Analysis: Tillman entered for the final 15 minutes and made his limited playing time count, providing the assist for Patrik Schick's 89th-minute equalizer. The midfielder also registered one attempt as Leverkusen pushed heavily for a way back into the match. The assist was Tillman's first of the Bundesliga season and could help his case for increased minutes after coming off the bench Saturday.
