If you look at Miguel Ibarra’s stats, you’ll see he leads MNUFC with three assists. If you dig a little deeper, you’ll see that all three of those assists are on match-winning goals. What the numbers won’t tell you is that he has played a key part in scoring eight of the Loons’ 11 goals this season. Ibarra is one of the rare players who can exert as much influence off the ball as he does on it.
THE ASSISTS
His run timing made the Loons’ match-winner against Orlando come together beautifully. Combined with a great flick from Mason Toye, Ibarra broke through a massive gap in the defense while staying very much onside.
