Sebastian Soto got his first start with Dutch second tier side Telstar and quickly delivered in a 45-minute performance.
Soto scored a first-half brace in an eventual 6-1 league win over FC Den Bosch. He was later substituted off at halftime, but made the most of his first time in the starting lineup.
The U.S. Men’s National Team striker needed only 12 minutes to break the deadlock, slotting home the opening goal. Glynor Plet played a through ball behind the Den Bosch defenders allowing Soto to race towards goal and slot home his first tally.

Soto’s second goal came in the 28th minute after Den Bosch failed to clear from a corner kick. The forward pound on a rebound and roofed a shot to give Telstar a 2-0 advantage.

The American was replaced at halftime, but ultimately watched as his team scored four more times in the second half to win 6-1. It was a brilliant start for the Norwich City loanee, who will next look to start on Oct. 2nd at Jong PSV.
My bad for going off on Soto, he rejected the Chile call up. Glad he is committed to USA.
Also he is on loan from Norwich City.
Good for Soto!
Mendez also had an assist for Jong Ajax today.
