Marko Maric was the unquestioned starting goalkeeper coming in to the 2021 season, but the 25-year old Croatian has really made the position his own this season.
With a much-improved defense in front of him, Marko has not had to make as many spectaculars saves this season thus far. Maric has allowed four goals in three games, however in three of those goals conceded, there was not much that he could have done. Check out the banger that San Jose’s Paul Marie scored on Opening Day for reference. Yet, Marko’s cat-like reflexes were put to test early against LAFC when Diego Rossi found himself with a golden chance in the first half Saturday.
