Paul Rothrock: In a game with seven goals, Rothrock’s was the best, a blistering low shot from distance off a quickly taken corner kick by Albert Rusnák in the Seattle Sounders’ 5-2 victory over LAFC. It was the midfielder’s first goal of the campaign.
Jovan Lukic: The Serbian midfielder opened his MLS account in style with a thunderous first-time strike off the far post in stoppage time, putting the finishing touches on the Philadelphia Union’s 2-0 win at the New England Revolution and continuing the club's perfect start (3W-0L-0D).
Tadeo Allende: The Argentine forward capitalized 16 seconds into the second half, controlling a long service on the right side, linking up with Luis Suárez on a superb give-and-go and firing past Charlotte FC goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina in a 1-0 home win for Inter Miami CF.
Rafael Navarro: The Brazilian striker scored the cheeky winner in a 1-0 victory for the visiting Colorado Rapids, running onto a perfectly-weighted through ball from Djordje Mihailovic and chipping it over Austin FC goalkeeper Brad Stuver for his third goal of the 2025 season.
