Players to Watch

Marco Reus (LA Galaxy)

Owen Wolff (Austin FC)

The side which will dominate the midfield is most likely to come out on top, and Owen Wolff can help Austin FC come up with a better performance. Even though the 20-year-old has not scored any goals this season for his side, he has played a crucial part in controlling the midfield and setting up plays for his team.
