Circling back to report that disaster has struck. Lund came off at 57/58' as part of a double substitution, which allowed Ternana to go ahead 1-2 at 64', then further ahead, 1-3 at 74'. It's still 1-3 against at 85'. Edit: Full time Palermo 2-3 Ternana Still a great goal!

Lund went the full distance today, Palermo losing 4-2 at Brescia. Palermo actually led 1-2 early, but Marconi short-circuited Palermo and was sent off at 23’ of the first half, leading to a 4-2 deficit by halftime.

KRISTOFFER LUND GOAL 💪🇺🇸 https://t.co/rd6SLRaZ8R— 🇺🇸 USMNTvsHaters (@USMNTvsHaters) April 1, 2024 Shows great wheels and a great finish on this one. GOAL LUND.
Kristoffer played the whole match with 93% passing against first place Parma. Top two is now off the table barring a miracle, but their place in the playoff is close to guaranteed.
Kristoffer with another start, going the distance against Reggiana. Seemed very active at LWB, including four shots, but they lose 2-1 and extended their winless streak to five matches. Really peaking in time for the playoff.
Move that winless streak to 6. Lund plays the whole match but gets the worst individual ratings of the match. 1-0 loss to Spezia. Looking increasingly likely that three Yanks will be in the Serie B playoffs.
Lund plays the whole match as Palermo allow a 93rd minute equalizer for a 2-2 draw with Ascoli, trying to keep the winless streak going straight through the playoffs.
Lund starts! playing wide left in a 3-5-2, Palermo (6th) visiting Sudtirol (9th, but eliminated). Positioning matters in the promotional playoffs, and (most of) the final positions are not set. 1 (Parma) & 2 (Como, likely, or Venezia) go up directly. 3 & 4 await the winners of 5 v 8 and 6 v 7. Palermo likely must win to hold the coveted 6th spot. Dropping to 7th or 8th would be unfortunate.
Palermo do win, finally, and get 6th place. Lund plays the whole match in a 1-0 shutout win as the defense allow just one SOG. They finally break their winless streak, just in time for the playoffs.
Playoff day for Palermo - Lund starts against Sampdoria. In the Serie B promotional playoffs, Palermo and Sampdoria have kicked off in Sicily. #USMNT left back Krisoffer Lund started for Palermo.— Brian Sciaretta (@BrianSciaretta) May 17, 2024
Palermo up 2-0.. Kristoffer Lund with the assist on the second goal. Palermo on the front foot here, playing well. #USMNT https://t.co/lLpKGnsn7K— Brian Sciaretta (@BrianSciaretta) May 17, 2024
Palermo win 2-0, and their reward is to face (well-rested) Venezia in a home and away playoff: Monday (May 20) Palermo v Venezia Friday (May 24) Venezia v Palermo
OK YA fans…do we want the club with two American central mids to get promoted (arguably our deepest position) or the club with a left back (our traditional Achilles heel)? Tough call for me, but if I had to pick, I’d want Palermo promoted. With Dest’s injury and also uncertain club future, IMO thats the priority. Plus, Tesseman had a really good year so he might get bought if they don’t go up.
Came off today with an injury: USMNT LB Kristoffer Lund exits their playoff game with an injury. Remains to be seen how serious it is. Praying that he’s healthy by Copa America, a backup fullback pairing of Shaq Moore and DeJuan Jones/DeAndre Yedlin is the stuff of nightmares. https://t.co/eZVmw2NZiz— American Ultras Talk (@ameriultrastalk) May 20, 2024
