2024-07-22 04:20:02

Inter Miami CF defender Jordi Alba and midfielder Yannick Bright have been named to the MLS Team of the Matchday presented by Audi for week 28 of the MLS regular season. The pair clinched Team of the Matchday honors following their crucial roles in the team’s 2-1 victory against Chicago Fire FC at Chase Stadium on Saturday.

Alba features in the starting XI for what is his fourth Team of the Matchday selection this season after showcasing an impressive performance in defense providing a constant outlet defensively and offensively, getting his name on the scoresheet with the winning goal seconds after Chicago’s equalizer to restore the lead in the 75th minute. Alba took advantage quickly after Chicago’s keeper failed to properly punch the ball away and finished into an empty net to allow the Herons’ to collect another three crucial points and stay atop of the Supporters’ Shield standings. In all, the Spanish left back has tallied four goals and seven assists this regular season.

Bright, meanwhile, is named to the bench and records his first Team of the Matchday selection this campaign, leading the midfield, effectively distributing passes, and winning several duels throughout the match allowing the team to be fluid on the attack and solid defensively. The Italian rookie midfielder finished the match with a 91.9% passing accuracy earning him his first Royal Caribbean Icon of the Match recognition. Bright has recorded one assist this MLS campaign.
