FRISCO – It was The Maxi Urruti Show at Toyota Stadium on Saturday night.
The Argentine striker stole the show with goals in the 71st and 77th minutes to complete the come-from-behind win over the New England Revolution, 2-1.
“It was the most important thing I could contribute for the team,” he said. “This win was the most important and difficult three points. But it wasn’t just me, it was also my teammates. I like that we are well adapted and we know what we want.”
It was just the second brace of Urruti’s MLS career and brings his 2017 goal total to four across all competitions – three in league play and another in CCL play from Wednesday night.
“Being in this club and in this group, it’s evident that if you’re going to play you have to give it 100 percent and that was reflected today on the field,” Urruti said. “To start this season scoring is very important for a forward. It has started out great. We’re also fighting in the CONCACAF Semifinal and we know we’re doing a great job.”
