MLS NEXT Pro Goal of Matchweek 19: Eddy Berumen

Goal of Matchweek 19

After earning more than 60% of the poll vote, LAFC2 defender Eddy Berumen has won the Goal of Matchweek 19 award.

Other nominees included Austin FC II’s Bobosi Byaruhanga, FC Cincinnati 2’s Yair Ramos, and Sporting KC II’s Cielo Tschantret.

Berumen scored his first goal of the season late in the first half of LAFC2’s match against Tacoma Defiance. Berumen intercepted the ball near the halfway line, dribbled towards Tacoma’s 18-yard box, and fired a powerful shot that gave LAFC2 their second goal of the match.

Since signing for LAFC2 in late June, the former UC Irvine product has started all four games he's been available for Junior Gonzalez's side.

Following a shootout victory over Tacoma Defiance in Matchweek 19, LAFC2 will now travel to Texas to face a resurgent Houston Dynamo 2 side on Sunday, July 28th.
