Heartbreak for Brenden Aaronson! USMNT misses golden chance minutes before Braga grab stoppage-time winner against Union Berlin in breathless Champions League clash

Bundesliga

Wolfsburg

Union Berlin

Braga came out on top in a wild 3-2 victory over Union Berlin. The Bundesliga side's Sheraldo Becker notched a brace, but a stoppage-time winner from Braga's Andre Castro stole the show.Becker scored twice in minutes 30' and 37' to put the home side up 2-0 up, but Braga capitalized on a defensive mistake four minutes after the double to get one back before the break. Portuguese winger Bruma equalized just after half-time and then set up Castro at the death to take home the glory.USMNT midfielder Aaronson was subbed on in the 81st minute, but failed to leave a lasting impact on the match, spurning a headed chance late on. The miss proved costly, as Union lost their second group-stage match of the campaign.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Aaronson's loan has been nothing but disappointing so far, and Tuesday was just an amplification of that. He was benched for the second-straight match and for the second time this UCL campaign. He was their last substitute used in the match and only played a total of 14 minutes, and it appears his confidence is drained.He had a great opportunity to put the German side ahead minutes after entering the match, but missed a point-blank header.For Union Berlin, it's a second-successive heartbreaking loss in stoppage-time loss in the Champions League. On matchday one, the Bundesliga side fell to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/brenden-aaronson-union-berlin-historic-result-real-madrid-jude-bellingham-goal/blte14c5cd1edccd6ab" target="_blank">Real Madrid 1-0 due to a 94th-minute winner from Jude Bellingham.</a>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Aaronson not starting nor getting regular minutes for Union Berlin has to be a worry for Gregg Berhalter and the USMNT.With upcoming October friendlies against both Ghana and Germany on the horizon, it's important that the 22-year-old finds both his confidence and his shooting boots as the two matches ahead are their toughest international opponents yet.

USMNT IMPACT

Brenden Aaronson (5/10):Despite coming on late in the 81st minute, Aaronson nearly set up a goal immediately and then missed a point-blank header late; one would argue he has to score in that moment.

GOAL'S RATINGS

Union Berlin are back in action on Saturday, October 7 when they take on Borussia Dortmund.
