📚 Unique milestones to watch out for this weekend in MLS | OneFootball

Following a thrilling round of midweek action, Major League Soccer enters Matchday 21 with 14 games scheduled across Saturday and Sunday.

Here are three key milestones to watch out for ahead of all the madness.

Dreyer an early pick for MLS MVP?

San Diego FC have made a statement this season, despite being an expansion team, and Anders Dreyer is a key figure to thank.

The Danish forward has registered eight goals and 12 assists in 19 games this season, helping the club sit top of the Western Conference. Such numbers not only make him an early contender for the Landon Donovan MLS MVP award, but also put him on the brink of history.

With just two more goals, "Dreyer will become the fourth player in MLS history to record at least 10 goals and 10 assists for an expansion club in its debut season and the first since Carlos Vela (14 goals, 13 assists) for LAFC in 2018."

What a feat it would be for the 27-year-old!

Da Costa to become an early Timbers legend?

Keeping our focus on the West, one player to watch is David Da Costa of the Portland Timbers.

The club travels to face Toronto FC on Saturday and Da Costa has a chance to etch himself amongst club legends.

The former Lens star has registered eight assists in 18 matches this season, only two off the record for fastest to 10 in Timbers history.

Diego Valeri last reached that figure for the club in 2013 after 21 games. He then went on to win MLS Newcomer of the Year and was named to the Best XI.

Is it in the cards for Da Costa?

Teenage dream to continue for Gozo?

The 2025 MLS season has been an incredible success story for 18-year-old Zavier Gozo of Real Salt Lake.

Now a regular on the pitch for the club, he has featured 13 times from 18 opportunities and started nine of those games. To make things even better, he's notched two goals for the club in his last four matches.

Finding his third goal of the season against Sporting Kansas City on Saturday could see Gozo "become the seventh player aged 18 or younger to score in three games over a five-game span since 2016."

The other names to do so are Jesús Ferreira, Gianluca Busio, Ricardo Pepi, Caden Clark, Jhon Durán, and David Martínez.

It's an action-packed weekend of MLS drama. Who do you have coming out on top? Let us know in the comments below.
