The power of Hispanics continues to be demonstrated in Major League Soccer (MLS), with the large number of soccer players who have been chosen as Best Player of the Day.
In this case it was the turn of the Costa Rican midfielder, Randall Leal, who defends the colors of the Nashville Soccer Club.
Leal was chosen as the Best Player of the twenty-second round of the MLS, after scoring a double that gave his team victory against DC United last Saturday.
The midfielder scored the first goal at minute 18′ of the first half, after receiving an aerial cross that he dominated to later beat the goalkeeper and send the ball into the back of the net.
Just 18 minutes later, he scored the second goal after an error in the DC United defense that he took advantage of to send a shot and score the goal.
Leal has been a fundamental piece for the good streak that Nashville has been going through since the last few days as a local.
The team has already accumulated six victories in a row, a positive record for the MLS club.
The group from the country capital also has in its ranks the German Hany Mukhtar, MLS MVP last year and top scorer in the league so far this season with 13 goals.
Second in the East with 38 points after 21 games (Cincinnati leads with 44 points in 20 games), Nashville travel to Chicago on Saturday to take on the Fire.
