| Ghana's Dominic Oduro and Gideon Baah tussle for the ball |
Two of Ghana’s representation in the Major League
Soccer (MLS), have started the 2016 season on a promising note.
Dominic Oduro has already garnered two goals and an
assist for Montreal Impact in the two-week-old league. His efforts have
propelled Montreal to the summit of the Eastern Conference standings.
Oduro registered his first goal during the season
opener and added another goal in the second week when Montreal dismissed a New
York Red Bulls side that included two Ghanaians in the persons of defender
Gideon Baah and winger Lloyd Sam by 3-0.
The game aroused the interest of soccer loving
Ghanaians because there were three Ghanaians involved but Oduro, who played 80
minutes, and his Montreal teammates laughed last.
Chicago Fire have picked just a single point from
two games but David Accam’s explosive start to the season has grabbed the
headlines.
With some incredible pace, Accam has scored twice
and assisted once. Last Friday, Accam put up a splendid show to help Chicago secure
a point on the road after a 1-1 draw with Orlando City.
Midfielder Gershon Koffie played another influential
role for New England Revolution when they were held to a goalless draw by DC
United. Koffie played 88 minutes for New England but Kofi Opare was an unused
substitute for DC United.
It was a baptism of fire for young Emmanuel Boateng
who opened his MLS accounts for LA Galaxy on a losing note. He was in action
for 23 minutes when Colorado Rapids defeated LA Galaxy by a lone goal.
Harrison Afful and his Columbus Crew are yet to
taste a win after a 1-2 loss at home to Philadelphia Union. Afful played the
entire game but that was not enough to save the Crew.
Goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey was also on the
vanquished side when Portland Timbers succumbed to San Jose Earthquakes by 2-1.
