Through the first month of the 2022 Major League Soccer season, an American player tops the goal-scoring list. Brandon Vazquez of FC Cincinnati is in a three-way tie with five goals, an impressive start for the 23-year-old striker. Now in his sixth year as a professional, the dual-national appears to be putting everything together and taking an important step forward in his career.
Born in Chula Vista, California, Vazquez joined Club Tijuana in 2013. His days consisted of waking up at 5 a.m. for morning training, being dropped off at the border, waiting on (in) line, walking across, and taking an Uber.
