Salt Lake’s Diego Luna named Player of the Matchday

Real Salt Lake midfielder Diego Luna has been named Player of the Matchday, thanks to his record of three-assists and one goal. The award was presented by Michelob Ultra for Matchday 25. Luna was the star of Saturday’s 5-2 shootout with Atlanta United at America First Field; delivering three assists for the second time this campaign, to keep Salt Lake level on points (43) with LAFC and the LA Galaxy, teams leading Western Conference standings. The midfielder is the first player in the team’s history to record three assists in more than one match.

This is the second time Luna is winning MLS Player of the Matchday award, after getting the accolade during Matchday 26 of 2023. He is still the youngest winner since taking home the title last year.

orlando city to induct kaká to legends terrace

Orlando City SC to induct legend Kaká to “Legends’ Terrace’’

Former Orlando City SC star Kaká  will be the first-ever player to be inducted into the club’s new “Legends’ Terrace” on July 6, the club announced on Wednesday. The Legends’ Terrace is a permanent display at INTER&Co Stadium that will honour those who have had a remarkable impact on Orlando City SC and NWSL side Orlando Pride. The ceremony will be held on Legends Night: Kaká, a new theme night for the Lions’ match against D.C. United on July 6 (7:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass). Kaká will be inducted in front of fans. Kaká will be the first inductee in recognition of his outstanding career at Orlando City, where he was the first-ever captain in the club. Considered one of the greatest players of his generation, he played for AC Milan and Real Madrid before his blockbuster arrival to Orlando. Kaká also featured for the Brazilian national team, scoring 29 international goals and winning the 2002 FIFA World Cup. “Long before our family became stewards of this great club, there were many who laid the foundation and built Orlando City to become what it is today. In unveiling this new addition to INTER&Co Stadium and celebrating our 10 years in Major League Soccer this season, there was no one more deserving than Kaká to be the first-ever inductee into our Legends’ Terrace,” club chairman Mark Wilf said in a release. “Kaká’s impact on the game, not just here in the City Beautiful but throughout the global soccer landscape, is one that will be felt for a very long time, and we are proud to permanently recognize his contributions and legacy as an Orlando City Lion. We look forward to celebrating him alongside our fans on July 6.” Over the three seasons he spent at Orlando, Kaká has a total of 78 appearances across all contests, with 25 goals and 22 assists, both ranking fourth all-time in club history. He was named an MLS All-Star in each of his three campaigns in Orlando, in addition to being MVP in his first appearance in 2015. “I want to thank Orlando City SC for this incredible honor of being the first-ever inductee into the Legends’ Terrace. My time with the club was filled with unforgettable moments and immense pride, both on and off the field,” said Kaká. “The love and support from the fans, ownership, my teammates, staff, and the entire Orlando community have left a lasting impact on me. “This recognition is a testament to our shared journey, and I am truly grateful to be part of the Orlando City and MLS family forever.”

Soccer Predictions Today: DC United VS Cincinnati FC Sure Tips

DC United will host FC Cincinnati at Audi Field tonight in an Eastern Conference MLS showdown that could be monumental for Cincinnati’s Supporters Shield race. DC is 13th in their conference with 20 points, while the visitors are second with 42, just two from Inter Miami in the Eastern conference and overall Supporters Shield table. Don’t miss DC VS Cincinnati. You can find the Soccer Predictions for DC VS Cincinnati on MatchPlug. We are a reliable Prediction Site for Major League Soccer predictions and previews.  Predictions and Betting Preview For DC United VS Cincinnati FC  Venue: Audi Field, DC, Washington. When: Thursday, 4th July, 2024. Time: 00:30. Teams to play: DC United and Cincinnati FC. MLS Picks: MONEYLINE 2.06. Odds presented by 1XBet. Betting On DC United 1XBet Spread: 0 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.77 DC United will be disappointed with their season so far, considering that they are third last in their conference after 21 matches and are on the path to securing only 32 points. Last season, DC United finished 12th with a points total of 40, and while this was not a good return, the fact they have regressed will be concerning for manager Troy Lesesne. Lesene will be a bit relieved that his team are only four points away from ninth position Atlanta United, who are in the conference’s last MLS Cup playoff spot. But, since DC United have lost six of their last nine MLS games and haven’t won any in that period, it would be surprising to watch them close that gap in their remaining 13 matches. Their home form is poor and they have not won any of their last six games at Audi Field. Betting On Cincinnati FC 1XBet Spread: 0 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.06 Meanwhile, Pat Noonan will be happier with Cincinnati FC and their season so far, especially since they are second in the Eastern Conference and are only two points behind Inter Miami with a game in hand. Noonan has been manager since November 2021 and led the club to their first ever trophy in MLS, winning the 2023 Supporters Shield before losing the MLS Cup final to Columbus Crew. Under his guidance, Cincinnati FC are presently averaging 2.1 points per match, and this is not  just more than their Supporters Shield winning season, but also their highest score ever since their debut in 2019. While the guests have scored 33 goals and conceded 23, they are not yet on track to surpass the offensive and defensive records they secured last season.  MatchPlug Prediction For DC United VS Cincinnati FC  Cincinnati are the favorites to win this match due to their perfect away form. Meanwhile, DC United have struggled at home in recent games, and their form shows that they may find it hard to beat their high-flying guests. Final Prediction: Cincinnati FC Moneyline.

Soccer Predictions Today: Columbus Crew VS Nashville SC Sure Tips

Columbus Crew will want to solidify their place at top-four in the Eastern Conference table when they host Nashville SC tonight. Nashville is only seven points behind their hosts, having played two matches more. Watch Columbus VS Nashville. MatchPlug presents the Soccer Predictions today for Columbus VS Nashville, we are a Sure Prediction Site where you can get previews and picks for all MLS matches. Predictions and Betting Preview For Columbus Crew VS Nashville SC Venue: Lower.com Field, Columbus, Ohio. When: Wednesday, 3rd July, 2024. Time: 23:30.  Teams: Columbus and Nashville.  MLS Picks: MONEYLINE 1.49. Odds as provided by 1XBet. Betting On Columbus Crew 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.49 Despite the distance that they are behind the Eastern Conference leaders, Columbus Crew are the team in form in that division presently. They have secured six wins from their last seven fixtures, the only reverse at home with Inter Miami by a 2-1 scoreline. Since that loss, the Crew have won 4-0 over Sporting Kansas City at home and 5-1 on the road over New England Revolution. Columbus has scored 21 goals in their last seven matches. In the last 11 matches, they scored only 13. Although the Crew won the MLS last season and are doing well presently, they are still no match for a team that also believes that they should be on top.  Betting On Nashville SC 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Over/Under: Under 3.5 1XBet Moneyline: 6.05 Nashville SC had not recorded consecutive victories in MLS all season, until recently. They achieved this in a space of three days in June. After a 2-1 win at Toronto FC, Nashville scaled through by a 1-0 scoreline against New York City to lift the club into the top half of the Eastern Conference. But, interim head coach Rumba Munthali watched his team fall to Inter Miami last time out, losing 2-1 after conceding two times before half time. Despite experiencing their second loss in nine league matches, there is hope for Nashville that they have turned a corner and can close down the six-point gap to the top six. MatchPlug Prediction For Columbus Crew VS Nashville SC  With Columbus and Nashville winning two of their last three matches, this match is a tough one to predict, especially with Nashville being impressive on the road. But, experts still backed Columbus Crew to win in a tight game. Final Prediction: Columbus Crew Moneyline.

san jose earthquakes dismiss luchi gonzalez

San Jose Earthquakes dismiss Luchi Gonzalez

The San Jose Earthquakes have dismissed head coach Luchi Gonzalez, the club announced on Monday. Assistant Ian Russell will lead the club on an interim basis, while the search for a head coach continues. Fellow assistant coaches Steve Ralston, Luciano Fusco and Adin Brown will stay in their current roles.  “We want to thank Luchi for his hard work, commitment to the club and professionalism,” general manager Chris Leitch said in a release. “Luchi and his staff have worked extremely hard the past year and a half, but we have not met expectations this year as a club. We felt that we needed to make a change, and it was in the best interests of the club to move in a different direction.” An Overview Of Gonzalez’s Tenure Gonzalez left the Earthquakes last in the Western Conference and overall MLS standings on 11 points (3W-14L-2D record), amid a seven-match winless run. San Jose’s 51 goals against and negative-22 goal differential are league-worst marks.  Gonzalez led San Jose to the Audi 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs as  No.9 seed during his first season at the helm. They lost the Wild Card match to Sporting Kansas City. “I want to thank ownership, leadership and our fans for the opportunity and the support they gave me during my time managing the Earthquakes,” said Gonzalez, who previously coached FC Dallas (2018-21) and was a US men’s national team assistant to Gregg Berhalter. “I am very grateful to all the staff and players who worked hard every day to improve our situation and wish them the very best moving forward. I plan to take some time with my family to reflect and prepare for the next step in my journey.” What Is Next For The Earthquakes? Russell will take over interim duties for the second time after a brief, two-match stint in 2014. A two-MLS Cup winner (2001, ‘03) as a player for San Jose, he has been assistant coach for parts of 11 seasons with the Earthquakes, including the last year and a half. He also coached the Quakes’ then-USL Championship affiliate side, Reno 1868 FC, between 2017-20, earning USL Co-Coach of the Year honours in 2020. “Ian is a very experienced coach who knows our club better than anyone,” said Leitch. “He had a great run as head coach at Reno for four years, winning a lot of games and making the playoffs every season. We’re confident that he’s ready to lead us.”

Soccer Predictions Today: Atlanta United VS Houston Dynamo Sure Tips

Atlanta United gear up to host Houston Dynamo at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday in a cross-conference clash that could prove crucial in their quest to qualify for the MLS Cup. Watch Atlanta VS Houston. MatchPlug presents the Soccer Predictions today for Atlanta VS Dynamo, we are a Sure Prediction Site where you can get previews and picks for all MLS matches. Predictions and Betting Preview For Atlanta United VS Houston Dynamo  Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta. When: Sunday, 14th June, 2024. Time: 00:30.  Teams: Atlanta and Houston.  MLS Picks: MONEYLINE 2.09. Odds as provided by 1XBet. Betting On Atlanta United 1XBet Spread: 0 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.09 Atlanta United are third last in their conference and have secured an average of only one point per match. And as guessed over the remainder of the 2024 season, this would be Atlanta’s lowest ever tally since joining the MLS as an expansion club in 2017. Despite this, the host are three points from ninth position Nashville SC, who sit in the conference’s final MLS Cup playoff spot. While Atlanta could close that gap with 18 matches left to play, they have only won one time in their last 11 league fixtures.These 11 matches saw them lose six times and concede 17 goals, although they scored in13 meetings. Atlanta’s goal difference of plus one is the seventh-best in the Eastern Conference. It is better than the teams around in the table like CF Montreal. Betting On Houston Dynamo 1XBet Spread: 0 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 1XBet Moneyline: 3.26 Houston Dynamo have won only two of their last nine league matches and haven’t won any of their last three road games. The guests’ current seventh position would be enough to qualify for the MLS Cup. While Dynamo are level on points with eighth-placed Colorado Rapids, they have a game in hand with Atlanta, and another with sixth position Austin FC. Dynamo have scored 18 goals and conceded 18, this record makes them the joint-fourth-worst attacking team in the league. But, contrastingly, they are also the joint-fourth-best defensive club in the league. The three past meetings between Houston and Atlanta have all been high-scoring affairs, with games averaging close to five goals per match. MatchPlug Prediction For Atlanta United VS Houston Dynamo  Houston and Atlanta have struggled with their forms recently, but with the large number of absent players the hosts have to play with, they may struggle on Sunday. Fixtures between these clubs are often high-scoring encounters, so fans can expect an entertaining clash.  Final Prediction: Atlanta United Moneyline.

Before this, manager Laurent Courtois had watched his team lose four successive league fixtures, and a win or draw on Sunday will mark their longest undefeated in MLS this campaign. Montreal have points in their last two MLS encounters at Saputo Stadium but have not won successive home matches in this contest since July-August 2023. The hosts have a 100% home record all-time versus Real Salt Lake, they’ve won their past meeting against them at Stade Saputo over five years ago.  Betting On Real Salt Lake  1XBet Spread: 0 1XBet Over/Under: Under 3.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.07 Real Salt Lake added some powerful attacking pieces to their squad last year, which has paid off massively for them in 2024. The Claret and Cobalt sit atop the Western Conference standings, scoring 36 goals, the second-highest in MLS this year. Salt Lake is dangerous in possession this term, and are just as sharp behind the ball, they concede the joint-second-fewest goals in the Western Conference (19). Salt Lake have been resilient on the road throughout the domestic season, scoring an equaliser or winning goal in the final 10 minutes on three occasions, this includes a second-half stoppage-time strike in successive MLS matches as the guests. Although they’ve never won a road match versus Montreal, Real have not lost a regular-season contest in Canada since June 2022. MatchPlug Prediction For CF Montreal VS Real Salt Lake  Real Salt Lake have been defiant throughout the season, and adding Chicho to their squad has made a significant difference. CF Montreal on the other hand do not have a match-winner on the same level as Arango. Final Prediction: Real Salt Lake Moneyline.

atlanta united stun inter miami

Atlanta United stun Inter Miami: “This can be a good turning point”

Gonazlo Pineda and Atlanta United have not quite thrown their last punch yet. Atlanta delivered an excellent performance for their head coach who is under-fire on Wednesday night. They ended a nine-game winless skid with their first road win in 2024 regular season, against MLS-leading Inter Miami CF. They beat Miami, 3-1, opened by impressive long-distance shots from Saba Lobjanidze. “We are on the same page. So it’s so big for us and the staff,” Lobjanidze told reporters, after confirming his celebration of his first goal did indeed mean that his partner is pregnant with a baby girl. buy rybelsus online https://www.amayadental.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/png/rybelsus.html no prescription pharmacy “We were struggling. The staff, my teammates, players – everyone was struggling the last few games, you know. So if we are winning, we are winning together. If we are losing, we’re losing together. So I said so many times, we just need one game like that and after, the confidence and mentality will be back for sure. buy super viagra online https://silvermancare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/png/super-viagra.html no prescription pharmacy ” Messi, Miami meet worthy opponents Most shockingly, there was little bunkering or reactivity from Atlanta. They dominated the expected-goals category to 3.4-0.7 and could have scored more, with Miami being slow and weak defensively, especially in transition. For this visit to Chase Stadium, Pineda adopted a 3-4-3 formation in hopes of destroying Miami’s backbone Sergio Busquets, Leo Messi and Luis Suárez. His plan yielded results, thanks to the work of central midfielders Dax McCarthy and Tristan Muyumba, and striker Jamal Thiare. Thiare started up top with Giorgos Giakoumakis in a reverse role as he treats a hamstring issue, going deep to disrupt Busquets’ efforts. “Understanding that Messi and Suárez were going to be on top, I always wanted to have always a 3-v-2 against them,” explained Pineda. online pharmacy buy antabuse no prescription with best prices today in the USA “Because I wanted to be protected in the middle of the field in transition moments, or when they were on the ball. We just clogged the middle, we didn’t allow Messi, Suárez to have a lot of freedom there. But I think the players did well, both out of possession, in possession, but also in transition. “We said, their centre backs are good and especially long balls and all that, but the ones that are going to hurt you are Busquets, Messi in the pockets … Dax and Tristan were outstanding in terms of communicating, passing lanes and blocking their passes.” Said Lobjanidze of the tactical adjustment: “It was perfect for this game.” Pineda’s patience yields fruits Atlanta’s poor results and disappointing performances, especially a disheartening streak of four home losses in a row, has stoked fan discontent and set heat on Pineda. He asked for patience and persistence throughout the ordeal, and did the same after this victory. He even hailed the support of travelling Atlanta supporters in Fort Lauderdale. “It was a massive, massive performance,” said Pineda, “but we’ve been playing good. We’ve been playing, maybe not at the same calibre, but something close to this, and we didn’t get many results. Today we did very well in terms of being clinical in key moments, and I think the players deserved every single part of those three points. “It’s tough when you are outplaying certain opponents and creating better expected goals than the opponents, but we didn’t get the three points, and you can lose your confidence at some point. So for me it was a big, big sign of great mentality for the team. But it’s also a reward for the fans, because one thing I really appreciated today was the corner, the back of the goal, it was completely filled by our fans that travelled here trying to motivate our players, and that was amazing. online pharmacy buy priligy no prescription with best prices today in the USA ” Charlotte FC and their sparse defence will likely present a different task from wide-open Inter Miami when they visit Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday (4:45 pm ET | Apple TV – Free, FOX). However, Pineda referenced his team’s improving form and the quality and depth it brings. He added that he thought their dedicated mindset was more influential than any tactical additions. “This can be a good turning point, but we still have nothing. We’re still very, very low in the standings,” he said. buy wellbutrin online https://www.amayadental.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/png/wellbutrin.html no prescription pharmacy “I hope this is the beginning for a good stride of games where we have good results, but we have to put the same amount of energy, the same amount of commitment and the same amount of football that we did today.” The Atlanta coach said. Miami, on the other hand, saw a 10-game undefeated run sputter to a halt with the impending departure of Messi and several other key contributors on international duty. For coach Gerardo “Tata ” Martino, the night’s only redeeming feature was the surprise loss of their Supporters’ Shield rivals FC Cincinnati at home to Nashville SC. “The only positive thing about the night is that Cincinnati lost. There’s nothing positive here,” said the Argentine in Spanish after losing to his former club. “We were unrecognisable. A lot of passing errors and disorganisation in recovery. We’re going to work to improve that. Today served as a learning experience, and credit to the adversary.”
