Extremely mobile and intelligent on the ball, Gonzalez facilitated plays with his distribution and vision, helping his team find space in the final third. The midfielder connected very well with the players around him and drifted wide on some occasions to make plays on the wings. Gonzalez assisted Taylor with a timely through ball in the team’s fifth goal and was also involved in the sixth, firing the shot that rebounded for Onofrei to score.

Gonzalez was very active in the final third and took part in most of the Spartans’ offensive attempts. He spent time at the striker, the wings and the No. 10 roles and always did a good job of moving to find the ball. Gonzalez displayed great vision and, when he had a little bit of space on the ball, he managed to connect intelligent passes that found his teammates in good spots in the final third. Even though he didn’t have a good chance inside the penalty box to decide the match, the junior still made a big impact on his team’s offense.
