Lyam McKinnon tallied his first professional goal last Wednesday against the Independence along with an assist. The Swiss rookie returned to the starting lineup in Charlotte after appearances in the first two matches of the season, including Greenville’s U.S. Open Cup match. MacKinnon excelled at finding the open space and dribbling defenders to shift the Greenville offense forward.

The League One assist leader, Leo Castro, makes his second TOTW roster after a stellar match. Former Kaizer striker, was instrumental in Greenville’s first and third goals, with an assist for each on Wednesday. Standing at 6’1, Castro won six out of seven aerial duels serving as an attacking stronghold to distribute and control possession of the ball in the final third.
Great game, great goals! ⚽️

Tyler Polak returned to his familiar left back role against Charlotte after injuries shuffled the defender to center back for much of the season. The former All-League player picked up where he left off, earning a TOTW appearance after playing a full 90 minutes and completing 87% of his passes on Wednesday. Defensively, Polak had one block, four clearances and had three interceptions in the club’s 3-1 win.
