MLS: A pair of American exports rang the bell in Europe on Sunday, with AZ Alkmaar ace Jozy Altidore hitting his 18th Eredivisie goal of the season in a 3-2 home loss to Ajax.
The US forward raced from midfield to collect an Adam Maher long ball and slot home from the left channel to extend his record for overall goals in a single top-flight campaign to 25. The strike cut AZ's game deficit to one, but they were unable to level on the league leaders. Though now winless in seven, the Cheese Farmers remained a point clear of the danger zone.
