MLS Postseason Goal Scorers by Nationality, 2015 Edition, Week 2

Quite a weekend in MLS as we're down to the final four teams. This weekend featured some incredible matches with both likely and unlikely heroes stepping up. Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his first goal of the postseason to clinch a win for the Red Bulls; FC Dallas's Walker Zimmerman scored both the goal that forced extra time and the winning penalty kick despite not scoring in 2015 (or 2014); Chad Marshall was in line to be the hero before Zimmerman's heroics when, after going scoreless in 2015, he headed in the go-ahead goal in the 90th minute for Seattle; Kei Kamara scored a goal, hit the crossbar with a header, had a penalty kick saved, and then scored the game winner in extra time in Columbus's emotional win over Montreal; and Fanendo Adi helped Portland to the only upset of the Conference Semifinals. Here's a rundown of all your goal scorers broken down by nationality through the first two rounds of the 2015 postseason.
