Second player to watch: Alexandru Matan
25-year-old attacking midfielder Alexandru Matan was a force of nature in the game against New England Revolution. Coach Caleb Porter’s boys were shell-shocked by his tremendous goalscoring capabilities at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, as he scored a hattrick for his manager.
