Birmingham Legion FC News Release


TAMPA, Fla. - With a goal and playing a part in the other, Tyler Pasher left his mark in South Beach over the weekend as Birmingham Legion FC snapped Miami FC's five-match unbeaten streak with a 2-1 victory over its Eastern Conference foe. For his strong efforts, the Canadian forward was named to the bench for the Week 12 USL Championship Team of the Week on Tuesday.

"Tyler is one of the best players in our league," Legion FC coach Mark Briggs said following the win. "The energy he shows as he plays consistently and he is always a threat. We've got to get high-level performances for us to be at our best. There's still more to come from him."

It marks Pasher's debut to the Team of the Week for 2025 after getting selected three times last season.

The 31-year-old opened Birmingham's scoring account against Miami in the 48th minute with a strong left-footed strike off a cross from Dawson McCartney for his first goal of the season. Pasher then tallied another shot on target in the 74th minute that Miami FC goalkeeper Bill Hamid was unable to corral, leading to a go-ahead tap-in from forward Ronaldo Damus. For the match, Pasher led the Three Sparks with two total chances, while completing 24 of his 30 passes.

El Paso Locomotive FC forward Andy Cabrera was named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball for Week 12 after recording a two-goal performance in his side's 2-1 victory on the road against Las Vegas Lights FC on Saturday. The Championship's Player of the Week is selected by the USL National Media Panel, which is made up of representatives from each media market in the Championship.
