2015 IN FOCUS: Matt Miazga

Matt Miazga had a whirlwind year in 2015, breaking into the Red Bulls’ starting XI in his third professional season, and climbing the international ranks from an under-20 to making his first senior national team appearance in just a few short months.

Miazga was called into action for New York on opening day, after Ronald Zubar went down with injury. Miazga played himself into an everyday starting role, and the Red Bulls went 15-6-5 during the regular season with him in the lineup on the way to earning a second Supporters’ Shield in three seasons. Per Opta, the 20-year-old led New York, and finished third in MLS, with 113 aerials won.
