The Podium: Leagues Cup Round 1

You used to the Leagues Cup yet? Take a look at the best performances from the inaugural round.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane (Minnesota United)

One of many who starred in Minnesota United’s 4-0 thrashing of Puebla, Bongokuhle thoroughly embarrassed the Liga MX club.

The South African was a hot knife through butter, simply running past defenders or taking advantage of large amounts of space. Puebla’s calamitous defending allowed the 23-year-old winger to exploit them fully, and he opened the scoring in the 24th minute, setting the tone for the rest of the game.
