Players to Watch: Minnesota United FC vs. San Jose Earthquakes
Minnesota United FC
Kelvin Yeboah — F. Kelvin Yeboah has carried Minnesota’s attack from the forward spot, scoring 8 goals across 18 matches this season. That output is three more than San Jose’s Ousseni Bouda, giving Minnesota a frontline threat capable of matching San Jose’s more prolific attack on its own terms.
Joaquín Pereyra — M. Eight assists in 19 appearances make Joaquín Pereyra the most productive creator on Minnesota’s roster this season. He has also chipped in 2 goals of his own, giving Minnesota a midfielder who contributes in both phases of the attack.
Anthony Markanich — D. Playing as a defender, Anthony Markanich has still found the back of the net 4 times in 19 matches this season, an uncommon return for a piece of Minnesota’s backline. His four goals are exactly half of teammate Kelvin Yeboah’s team-leading total, an unusual offensive contribution from a defensive player.
San Jose Earthquakes
Preston Judd — F. Preston Judd leads all San Jose scorers with 11 goals in 19 matches, a return that puts him among the most productive strikers in this matchup. His total outpaces Minnesota’s Kelvin Yeboah by three goals, giving the Earthquakes a frontman with the kind of scoring track record that can decide a match.
Niko Tsakiris — M. Few midfielders in this matchup have been as efficient as Niko Tsakiris, who has racked up 7 assists in just 12 appearances for San Jose. That rate outpaces Minnesota playmaker Joaquín Pereyra’s 8 assists across 19 matches on a per-match basis, a sign of how much creative production San Jose packs into fewer minutes.
Timo Werner — F. Timo Werner brings proven scoring pedigree to San Jose’s frontline, netting 5 goals in just 11 matches this season. His scoring rate over that shorter run keeps pace with Ousseni Bouda’s 5 goals across a full 19 matches, giving the Earthquakes two distinct scoring threats to pair with Judd.
