Strong creative run continues
Leroux assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win against Portland Timbers.
Analysis: Leroux is enjoying his finest creative spell of the campaign, with his through ball for Eduard Lowen's goal against Portland Timbers marking his fourth consecutive match with an assist. The midfielder had gone nearly four months without setting up a teammate before this surge, achieving his turnaround entirely from open play without the aid of set-piece duties. He has registered 10 chances created and nine shots across his last five appearances alongside one goal, pointing toward a sustained spell of attacking production.
Assist on late equalizer
Leroux assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.
Analysis: Leroux registered two shots without troubling Hugo Lloris and delivered the assist on Reid Roberts' dramatic 90+8 equalizer, one corner and one additional chance created across 90 minutes as San Jose pushed relentlessly for an equalizer throughout the second half against a 10-man LAFC side. His contribution on Roberts' goal was the decisive moment that denied LAFC three points in one of the most dramatic finishes of the MLS season.
Bags another assist
Leroux assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Houston Dynamo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 19th minute.
Analysis: Leroux earned an assist on the lone goal of the match Saturday, finding Daniel Munie in the 38th minute. This is a third straight match with a goal contribution for the midfielder, recording a goal and two assists during that span. He now has four goals and five assists in 24 appearances, matching his goal contribution total from last season with a few games to play.
Assists in road win
Leroux assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 victory against San Diego FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 48th minute.
Analysis: Leroux created Niko Tsakiri's opener in the third minute with his fourth assist in the season, but first since April. The midfielder also received his fourth yellow card during the match. That was his 21st start in 23 overall appearances.
Three shots, one goal
Leroux scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Austin FC.
Analysis: For only the second time across Leroux's five appearances, he managed to attempt multiple shots, Saturday marking the only time he did so in a start. In the five-appearance span, Leroux logged four starts but demonstrated relatively decent goal-scoring form by getting one in the net twice.
Nets on Saturday
Leroux scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus St. Louis City SC.
Analysis: Leroux netted with a thunderous volley in the 47th minute to give San Jose a ray of hope. He recorded 34 passes and also made a tackle and an interception. This was his third goal of the campaign and he is now up to six goal contributions for the campaign.
Scores, misses penalty in loss
Leroux scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to FC Dallas.
Analysis: Leroux fired a stunning volley to level the scoring in the 18th minute of this game, but his performance was later marred as his penalty kick was denied by the goalkeeper near the end of the first half. Still, he posted a season-high mark in shots after 13 matches played. With a defensive midfield duo of Ian Harkes and Ronaldo Vieira deployed behind him, Leroux enjoyed more freedom to attack than in previous appearances, and he also led his team with five tackles for a strong all-around output.
Provides assist in victory
Leroux assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Los Angeles Football Club. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 51st minute.
Analysis: Leroux set up Timo Werner's 56th minute goal and was right in the middle of Ousseni Bouda's 80th minute dagger, threading the passes that powered San Jose's dominant second half at BMO Stadium and bringing his assist total to three already this season, matching what he produced across 33 appearances as a rookie last year. He operated as the creative hub in San Jose's counterattacking game after the break, repeatedly finding space between LAFC's midfield and back line to keep the pressure on. He also chipped in defensively with a season-high three interceptions, rounding out a complete performance.
