Léo Chú was named MLS’s Player of the Matchday for his two-goal performance against the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday. Chú scored both goals off set-pieces when Jackson Ragen headed Nicolás Lodeiro deliveries across the goal. The Brazilian also had a hand in the third goal, with his well-struck shot falling to the feet of Yeimar Gomez-Andrade.
