Tani Oluwaseyi scored his sixth goal and added his third assist in Minnesota United’s 3-3 tie at Colorado.
Oluwaseyi, 24, was born in Nigeria and grew up in Canada. He played at St. John’s before being drafted by the Loons in 2022. He enjoyed a breakout season in 2023 on loan to the USL Championship’s San Antonio SC with 18 goals.
In his first full MLS season, his stats in multiple categories are off the charts, ranking in the 99th percentile in non-penalty goals and assists per 90 minutes — as well as blocks — and second in MLS behind Lionel Messi on goal contributions per 90 minutes.
