Multiple Major League Soccer sides made a splash in the transfer market this summer. Toronto FC signed Italian National Team players, including midfielder Lorenzo Insigne, LAFC brought in Champions League winner Gareth Bale and fellow MLS originals D.C. United acquired former Liverpool and Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke.
While MLS does like to showcase the new, shiny players from overseas, there are often times that existing stars turn another regular season match into an event. Sunday is one of those events when one of these new signings, the Crew’s Cucho Hernández, and Atlanta United veteran Josef Martínez meet for the first time.
