The 20-year-old South African defender has been nominated as one of the best players in Major League Soccer but needs your votes to make the team which will likely feature stars like Lionel Messi, Son Heung-min and Rodrigo De Paul.

The 20-year-old South African defender was, together with goalkeeper Chris Brady, instrumental in keeping L'Impact at bay. Puso Dithejane got more minutes under his belt as a second half substitute as the Men in Red closed the distance on the log leaders with their second win in a row.

The 20-year-old South African defender was back in Gregg Berhalter's starting eleven after being rested for Saturday's 3-1 home defeat to Red Bull New York. But it was his fellow countryman who had the critical impact in winning the penalty that ultimately led to the Men In Red taking the lead.

The ex-Usuthu staffer has lifted the lid on the dramatic transfer saga that saw the South Africa international slip through the club's fingers. Despite having a contract drafted and ready for the defender, the Durban-based side were left stunned when the Sea Robbers swooped in at the eleventh hour to secure the youngster.
