There have been various games where Jordan Morris has seemingly burst through a developmental wall. Against the Philadelphia Union, he scored his first professional goal, kickstarting a more confident style of play. The Portland Timbers home match saw him become a more physical presence. We saw him turn into a player capable of dominating a match against the LA Galaxy.
Sunday’s performance was another one of those games.
Against FC Dallas, Morris showcased a new skill-set that proved he can also be a threat coming from wide positions. Morris didn’t score, of course, but he had an assist, could have easily had two more, probably should have scored one of his own and was generally as dangerous as he’s been in any game since his brace against the Galaxy.
