Brian Rodriguez has burst on to the scene for Los Angeles FC since joining the club in August. The 19-year-old Uruguayan has been celebrated as the club’s next big star, given first-team minutes right from the start of his tenure with LAFC.
And with Rodriguez scoring his first goal for Uruguay during the international break, the confidence level has been high entering the final stretch of the regular season.
At 19, he’s handled himself very well in his first few appearances for LAFC. Called upon to give the league leaders a boost as they make the push to the MLS Cup playoffs with little time to adjust to life in a different league, not to mention the unfortunate absence of Adama Diomande which has left a void in the LAFC attack, Rodriguez has delivered.
