Fagundez had a goal and two assists in Sunday’s 5-0 thrashing of the Los Angeles Galaxy, a performance which wowed the membership of the North American Soccer Reporters. Fagundez won the weekly NASR-member vote and was named the MLS Player of the Week. Diego Fagundez Fagundez set up goals for Saer Sene and Lee Nguyen, before adding to the rout with a pretty finish of a tic-tac-toe passing play. Even though he isn’t old enough to drink in the Boston area, the Uruguay-born prospect, who came up through the Revs’ system, now has five goals in 10 games. He had two in 20 games last season. How The 11 voted: Fagundez. He’s transforming the Revolution from the Most Anonymous Team in MLS into a club that’s got something to get excited over. A couple of weeks ago, he scored a fantastic volleyed goal against Toronto FC, so Canadian soccer followers had a chance to at least see the highlight of that one.
