Once again, the unstoppable Italian, Lorenzo Insigne, finds himself nominated for the Goal of the Matchday in the MLS this week. Insigne's remarkable goal-scoring prowess continues to captivate fans and pundits alike, solidifying his status as one of the league's standout performers.

In a thrilling clash at the BMO Field, Lorenzo Insigne delivered a stunning blow to Charlotte FC, handing them their first defeat of the season as Toronto FC emerged victorious with a 1-0 win.

The first half saw Argentine forward Enzo Copetti of The Crown creating the most danger for Charlotte FC. In the 25th minute, a clever through ball from Iuri Tavares sent Copetti sprinting into the box, only to be brought down by a well-timed challenge from the goalkeeper. Despite the VAR review, no penalty was awarded.
