Mohammed Sofo, a young forward for the New York Red Bulls, unexpectedly started in their home opener against Nashville SC due to team injuries. Despite being a last-minute replacement for the injured Lewis Morgan, Sofo made his mark by scoring his first goal in Major League Soccer just minutes into the game. He expressed his readiness for this opportunity, highlighting his hard work and determination. Sofo's performance comes as the team grapples with multiple player injuries, adding pressure to the lineup.
In the seventh minute, he hopped on an Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting shot that rang off the right post and slotting it past the sprawled, out-of-position Nashville goalkeeper Joseph Willis.
When he told me I was playing, it wasn't a shock, because mentally, I was ready. Honestly, I was waiting for this moment for a long time.
