Yeboah scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal) during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Yeboah found the back of the net in the 73rd minute while finishing with the second most shots on the team. The attacker has combined for four goal involvements, 10 shots and four chances created over his last three starts.
Adds assist
Yeboah assisted once to go with three shots (three on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-4 defeat against Portland Timbers.
Analysis: Yeboah got in on the goalscoring fun with an assist during Saturday's loss. It's a frustrating showing for the team as a whole as the defense totally capitulated. This sort of all-attack showing led to plenty of goal contributions to go around, but it just wasn't nearly enough to overcome a very disappointing result after scoring four goals.
Logs goal and assist
Yeboah scored one goal and assisted once from five shots and three chances created in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Orlando City SC.
Analysis: For the first time since April, Yeboah has scored in back-to-back games, giving him three goals between the two appearances. The forward's most surprising contribution was his assist, delivering the pass to a Marcus Caldeira goal in the 71st minute. Yeboah's latest assist marks his first this season and his first since 2024. By getting the assist, Yeboah's 2026 G/A increases from 10 to 12, the latter his new career-best as a member of Minnesota United.
Scores brace in win
Yeboah scored two goals to go with four shots (four on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-1 victory over San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Yeboah was recalled to the starting eleven after three straight games on the bench and snapped a poor run of form with a brace from four shots. The forward has been among Minnesota's top strikers but had struggled to rediscover his usual form since the World Cup break, going nine games (five starts) without scoring until now. The two goals lift him to 10 in MLS this season, his highest league tally yet, and could give him a lift for the remainder of his third year with Minnesota.
Available vs. SKC
Yeboah (personal) will be available to feature in Wednesday's game against Sporting Kansas City, according to Andy Greder of The Twin Cities' Pioneer Press. "That's done," Loons coach Cameron Knowles said July 2 about Yeboah's benching. "I said it at the time, 'I wish there would have been one more game.' ... We look forward to getting him back in with the group."
Analysis: Yeboah didn't play in Minnesota's final game before the 2026 World Cup break after being suspended due to an "internal matter," but the forward is back with the group and thrived during Tuesday's session. He should be one of the first names on the team sheet after scoring eight goals so far this season across 14 appearances.
Out against Real Salt Lake
Yeboah is ruled out of Saturday's clash against Real Salt Lake due to an internal matter.
Analysis: Yeboah's absence stems from an internal matter believed to be linked to a Wednesday training session incident, with coach Cameron Knowles offering no further elaboration. The disciplinary issue is however in not likely to carry over into the MLS restart after the FIFA World Cup in late July. The leading scorer's absence hands Mamadou Dieng a rare start up top.
Misses Friday's practice
Yeboah didn't take part in Friday's training session ahead of the weekend clash against Real Salt Lake because of an "internal matter", Andy Greder of Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Yeboah could be inactive for some time, but his exact situation is still unclear. This issue may force Minnesota to look for an alternative to their top scorer of the current season, with Mamadou Dieng available as the most direct replacement option. Yeboah has tallied eight goals across a streak of 14 MLS starts this year.
Converts from spot
Yeboah scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus New England Revolution.
Analysis: Yeboah levelled the match in Saturday's 1-2 defeat at Gillette Stadium, converting a first-half penalty and sending Matt Turner the wrong way. The forward, who operates as the focal point of Minnesota's attack and leads the team comfortably in goals scored, created one further dangerous moment before halftime but faded after the break as his side's attacks became increasingly isolated. Yeboah has now scored eight goals across 14 MLS appearances this season, though Saturday's defeat leaves his side needing a strong final game before the World Cup break to secure their playoff position.
Scores brace Saturday
Yeboah scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 win over Columbus Crew.
Analysis: Yeboah scored a pair of goals Saturday, strikes in the 59th minute and 66th minute which turned a 2-0 deficit into a tie match within seven minutes. He now has seven goals through 11 matches this season, a very impressive start to the season for the forward. He'll look to keep this hot streak going Sunday versus Austin FC.
