He was subbed on for Michael de Leeuw in the 93rd minute.[8] He scored his first MLS goal on September 27, 2017, in a 4–1 away victory over the San Jose Earthquakes. His goal, assisted by Matt Polster, came in the 14th minute and was the first of the match.[9] During the Knockout Round clash with the New York Red Bulls, Mihailovic was diagnosed with a ruptured ACL after a tackle that left him in serious pain. Mihailovic would miss 6–8 months before returning to the field.[10]
