Keep an eye on these players

Inter Miami vs vs. Nashville SC, May 23, 7:30 p.m. (CBS Sports Golazo Network)  
Hany Mukhtar, Nashville SC: The German attacking midfielder is Nashville’s star and what makes them tick. With six goals and five assists on the season, he’s the sun that Nashville’s attack revolves around. He’s led his side in both goals and assists each of the last two seasons, and looks set to do it again this year.

LAFC vs. Galaxy, May 23, 10:30 p.m. (CBS Sports Golazo Network)
Denis Bouanga, LAFC: The Gabon striker leads the team with 10 goals, so he’s where the scoring comes from and he’s doing it by taking lots and lots and lots of shots, averaging 4.5 shots per 90 minutes this season in league play. Three of his goals have come from long range bombs from outside the box as well, so hope for some fireworks.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds vs. Columbus Crew, May 24, 7 p.m. (CBS Sports Golazo Network)
Lucas Zelarayan, Crew: The old stalwart continues to lead an attack that distributes the goals equally between lots of different sources. His eight combined goals and assists leads a team which has 13 different scorers on the season, but nobody with more than Zelarayan’s five goals. 

Colorado Rapids vs. Real Salt Lake, May 24, 10 p.m. (CBS Sports Golazo Network)
Anderson Julio, Real: Julio is a player who isn’t always in the lineup, but he makes more of an impact than you’d think when he gets on the ball. He only has a single goal this season in just over 500 minutes played but he’s getting into good positions which suggest it’s only a matter of time before he starts stuffing the stat sheet a bit more.
