Jude Terry Bags His First MLS Goal

At 17, Jude Terry is already starting to get attention, and not just because of hype. It’s the way he plays. Clean on the ball, confident, and able to hit through it with serious power. You can see it right away — he’s not just another young player getting minutes.
That goal against the Portland Timbers is what really put people on notice. He takes the pass in stride, sets himself in one motion, and just rips it into the top corner. No hesitation, no extra touch. Just pure technique. The kind of finish that makes you stop and watch it again.
LAFC didn’t get the result in the end, but honestly, that goal is what people are going to remember from the game.
Now there’s another layer to this. Terry isn’t just rising at club level — there’s an international decision coming down the line too. He’s eligible for the United States, Mexico, and Argentina. That’s not a small list, and if he keeps trending like this, all three are going to be paying close attention.
