Major League Soccer Season is in it’s third week , and it has been nothing less than dramatic. From dummy runs to historic moments for clubs and families of players, we can be sure to expect more intensity, especially with clubs beginning to make unexpected leaps in the standings.
This week went to the youngins. Caden Clark, Cade Cowell, and Dante Sealy all scored goals for their clubs, respectively. The amount of young talent that continues to emerge is giving the league a refreshing look. And hopefully, these young hopefuls will display their talent on a national level one day.
Key Moments
- Rubio Rubin scored twice against Sporting KC in front of his family after making his MLS debut last week.
- Portland Timbers homegrown goalkeeper Hunter Sulte who stands at 6’7” became the tallest and second youngest keeper in league history.
- Diego Rossi made his 2021 debut after sustaining a hamstring injury that kept him out for the first two weeks. Although the Black and Gold drew 1-1, it is great to see the young Uruguayan back.
