Kevin Molino credited his offseason training back home in Trinidad and Tobago for his fast start. Molino scored two goals and Minnesota United beat the Portland Timbers 3-1 on Sunday night in the season opener for both teams. Molino's first goal in the 51st minute came after a scoreless first half.
“I have been a coach for many years and I have been fortunate to train a select group of special players," Bradley said following Sunday's game. "Carlos Vela is on that list with Hristo Stoitchkov and Mohamed Salah.”
