A simple formula has developed over Cory Burke’s first season in Major League Soccer. When he starts, he scores.
His brace in Wednesday night’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal brought his season total in games he’s started in all competitions to 10 in nine games. That includes the two goals he has in two starts with Bethlehem Steel FC, three goals in three Open Cup starts and five goals in four MLS starts. He has yet to score as a substitute this season.
“Well you know, it’s my job to score goals,” he said after Wednesday night’s game.
