They got Chicharito???

The Fusion attack is led by Noe Morale-Moya who leads the team in scoring with six goals while Anthony Boyadjian has been the creative force with a team-high five assists. In goal, Miguel Angel-Hernandez has helped the Fusion keep their goals against average below one per match. Angel-Hernandez is the starting goalkeeper at the University of Portland where he is teammates with Ballard FC’s Anton Hjalmarsson, Angel Martinez, and Joe Highfield. Angel-Hernandez was Second Team All-WCC in 2024 and then led the conference in shutouts, save percentage, and goalkeeper minutes played in 2025. Miguel’s younger brother, Javier, is also on the Fusion and has spent time in MLS Next Pro with LAFC2, and now will play for Portland alongside Miguel after spending a year at the University of North Carolina. Javier does not just share a name with Mexican legend Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, but is also quite a goalscorer himself with four goals in USL 2 play this season.
