The French midfielder put his team ahead with a strike that found the top-right corner, sparking a Five Stripes 2-1 comeback victory against Red Bull New York.\n\nComing in second place was Niklas Dorsch, the German midfielder for Toronto FC. Dorsch, who scored his first MLS goal in style by blasting a long-range rocket, earned 26.1% of the fan vote after Toronto FC ended their 12-match winless streak with a 2-1 win over the New England Revolution.\n\nThird place was awarded to Sam Surridge, the English forward for Nashville SC. Surridge netted his team's fourth goal with a deft backheel finish inside the six-yard box, in a 4-1 triumph over Inter Miami CF.\n\nRounding out the top four was Ervin Torres, the homegrown midfielder for Austin FC. Despite his team's narrow 2-1 loss to Texas rivals FC Dallas, Torres' blistering blast from outside the box secured him 8.5% of the fan vote.",
