SAN JOSE, Calif. – San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Beau Leroux has been named to Major League Soccer’s Team of the Matchday for Matchday 13. Leroux’s first-half goal and assist were key in the Earthquakes’ 3-3 draw with Inter Miami CF on Wednesday.
After both teams got on the score sheet within the first three minutes of the match, the hosts pulled ahead in the 37th minute. Leroux took advantage of a floating loose ball at the top of the box and eventually drilled it home for a 2-1 lead. The two clubs then traded goals in the 44th minute and fourth minute of stoppage time, respectively. Tadeo Allende evened the score for Inter Miami, but Ian Harkes would have the final say of the first half, coolly placing the ball in the back of the net from the top of the box thanks to assists from Leroux and Amahl Pellegrino.
Leroux continues to be the one of the surprises of the 2025 MLS campaign, having only signed a first-team contract the night before the regular-season opener on February 22.
