This time, it was Riqui Puig who claimed the Matchday 24 honor, securing an impressive 43.3% of the vote. Puig's outstanding contribution followed his teammate Tyler Boyd's previous triumph in Matchday 23.

Puig's moment of brilliance occurred during the crucial match against the formidable Philadelphia Union. With an extraordinary strike from outside the penalty box, Puig unleashed a powerful shot that found the back of the net, sealing a much-needed 3-1 victory for the Galaxy.

Moreover, the Galaxy's undefeated streak has now extended to seven matches, placing them a mere three points away from securing a spot in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.

Claiming second place with an impressive 31.5% of the vote was Álvaro Barreal, the talented wingback from FC Cincinnati. Barreal's goal was a display of his ingenuity and finesse, as he executed a clever finish from a challenging angle that left Charlotte FC's Guzmán Corujo astounded. The ball gracefully glided between Corujo's legs, finding its way into the far post. This stunning strike not only showcased Barreal's technical prowess but also completed an awe-inspiring 2-2 comeback for the current leaders of the Supporters' Shield.

Taking home the third spot with 15.7% of the vote was Ibrahim Aliyu of the Houston Dynamo FC.

This exceptional goal contributed to a thrilling 2-2 draw against Sporting KC, leaving spectators in awe of the team's skillful execution.

Completing the vote with 9.5% was Justin Haak, the promising young talent from NYCFC. Haak's contribution came in the form of a sensational upper-seven rocket during a hard-fought 1-1 draw against the Columbus Crew.
