Early in 2019, Kacper Przybylko asked if he would ever get his own head on a stick. The IBX fatheads promotion placed a few players’ headshots on sticks for a late-season giveaway and the big striker at that point far from a double-digit goalscorer, thought it was wonderful.
That light-hearted, goofy attitude disappears when Przybylko steps onto the pitch. In two games against DC United this season, he tore through the district’s finest, earning a penalty and scoring two goals. Last Saturday, Przybylko scored five minutes into the match, and by the 36th minute he had added two assists.
