Round 1 MVP

Riqui Puig | LA Galaxy

The LA Galaxy are looking like the team to beat heading into the next round of games, and the 25-year-old Spanish midfielder is one of the big reasons why. With four goals and one assist across a two-game series, Puig is both a conductor and finisher in LA's inspiring attack. He's also on track to be the postseason's top scorer (only Vancouver's Ryan Gauld has scored more in the playoffs, but he won't be able to add to his tally after the Whitecaps' elimination) if he keeps the pace in the next round.
