Israeli Players Shine in MLS with Assists and Key Performances
The 26th round of Major League Soccer (MLS) saw several Israeli players feature prominently, including an "Israeli derby." In a thrilling match between New England Revolution and Orlando City, which ended 4-2, Israeli forward Dor Turgeman played a crucial role despite not scoring. Turgeman, who had a goal and an assist in the previous game, recorded two impressive assists in this match, contributing to his team's third consecutive victory. New England Revolution, with Turgeman playing the full 90 minutes and Eliyahu Feingold playing 19 minutes, temporarily moved into second place in the Eastern Conference standings. The game was dramatic, with New England leading 2-0, losing the advantage, and then scoring two late goals in stoppage time to secure the win.
In another Eastern Conference match, D.C. United lost 2-1 to Charlotte. Taiwo Awoniyi played the entire game for D.C. United, while Idan Toklomati and Liel Abada featured for Charlotte. Ashley Westwood opened the scoring for Charlotte with a long-range shot in the 22nd minute, Lucas Bartlett equalized for D.C. United in the 47th minute, and Allan Saint-Maximin scored the winning goal in the 71st minute.
Elsewhere in MLS, Ran Benjamin played 64 minutes for his team in a 0-0 draw against Austin FC in Dallas. In Colorado, Sayed Abu Farchi also played 64 minutes in his team's 3-3 tie with Seattle.
