McKenzie's First Goal of the Season

Defender Helped it in for First Goal in France

Mark McKenzie scored his first Ligue 1 goal on Sunday, earning Toulouse a crucial 1-1 draw against Nice. The 25-year-old center-back bundled home a late equalizer after taking advantage of a goalkeeper error by Marcin Bulka.

McKenzie's goal marked a significant milestone in his first season with Toulouse, where he has quickly established himself as a key player. Since joining from Genk in the offseason, he has started 18 of the club's 20 matches.

The New York native's performance was impressive enough to earn him a spot on L'Equipe's team of the week. His emergence has been particularly noteworthy for the U.S. men's national team, providing stability in an inconsistent center-back pool.

McKenzie will shift his focus to the Coupe De France, with Toulouse set to face Guingamp in the Round of 16 on Wednesday.
