The countdown of the Top 5 in the USL 20 Under 20 series nears its conclusion with a player who arrived at the Swope Park Rangers from one of the most historic clubs in Europe, and quickly made history with the first goal in club history before injury brought a premature end to a dazzling first campaign in the United States.

No. 2: Kevin Oliveira, Swope Park Rangers

A graduate of the SL Benfica Academy in Portugal, Oliveira didn’t arrive with the Rangers as one of their higher-profile signings, but quickly established himself as a player to watch with his consistent play, and creativity in the final third of the field. Even after suffering an injury 13 games into the season, Oliveira remains the club’s leader in assists.
