Real Salt Lake Midfielder Sunday Stephen Named 15th Best Player In Major League Soccer

Real Salt Lake defensive midfielder Sunday Stephen has been selected among the top 20 players in Major League Soccer for the last round of matches.

The MLS, in its weekly Audi Player Index, has identified the former Valencia and CSKA Sofia man as the 15th most influential player in the top-flight and he was awarded a score of 727.

Sunny opened his goalscoring account for Real Salt Lake in their 2-1 win against Seattle Sounders at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday, restoring parity for his team two minutes before half-time after they went behind in the 28th minute.

Other Nigerian MLSers Fanendo Adi(Portland Timbers) and Kennedy Igboananike(Chicago Fire) did not make the top twenty.

The Player index is calculated by rating nearly every action on the field by a player.
