HM: Abdi Salim
The rookie wasn't amazing --- and had a handful of shaky moments along the backline --- but for a player I didn't expect to see the field at all at the MLS level, this was an impressive showing. Salim is solid on the ball and a decent defender.
He still has a ways to go before he's a reliable, everyday player, but Salim showed potential to be a long-term contributor in MLS.
