Fresh from having represented El Salvador at the FIFA U-17 World Cup, the midfielder was subbed in after the halftime break and was a standout for the Dynamo in midfield. With good vision and a nice passing range, he distributed the ball with intelligence and made his team attack in a more organized and structured way. Inojosa also had a lot of ground to cover defensively as the Dynamo had many attacking players on the field, and he did a good job of keeping a good intensity and not allowing RSL to dominate the center of the field.

The captain of the El Salvador U17 national team that recently earned historic qualification for the FIFA World Cup, Inojosa is a lock in the Dynamo’s midfield. He typically plays in central midfield for them, but has the intelligence and the skill set to play other roles if needed, such as left back. He’s a solid all-around player, who contributes on both sides of the ball and consistently makes good choices. Inojosa is a hard-nosed defender, who displays great intensity when fighting for possession, but he also contributes offensively, popping up in good spots to facilitate plays and connecting excellent passes into the final third.
