United (April 28) and scored his first goal of the year with a shot from distance as part of a 4-1 win over Real Salt Lake (May 19). He recorded his first multi-assist match with two helpers in the postseason-clinching win over Minnesota (October 6) and was named to the MLS Team of the Week (Week 32) for his efforts.
