Mathieu Choiniere - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Credited with assist in win Choiniere assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 win versus Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Choiniere set up LAFC's second goal with a perfect long ball that allowed Denis Bouanga to find the back of the net against Kansas City's passive defending. Choiniere can deliver the odd assist here and there, but he's not known for being much of a playmaker in a deep-lying role. Thus, his fantasy appeal shoudn't be overly high.

Scores sensational brace in win Choiniere scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus St. Louis City SC.

Impact Choiniere took over the match with two right-footed strikes from outside the box, first firing home from a central spot in the 73rd minute before doubling the lead in the 81st with another rocket from the right half-space. The opener finally rewarded LAFC after a long stretch of sustained pressure, while the second quickly shut the door on any comeback hopes for St. Louis. In his ninth MLS season, he came into the night with just 12 career league goals, but this breakout performance carried LAFC to another win after stepping into the starting midfield role for the injured Stephen Eustaquio (leg) and showing the club has real qualitative depth in the squad.
