The results are in, and LAFC forward Carlos Vela has been voted captain of the All-Star Team for the 2018 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target.
The Mexican international won the online poll, conducted on Twitter over the past several days with the hashtag #VoteVela. The other candidates for the captaincy were Atlanta United defender Michael Parkhurst, New York Red Bulls forward Bradley Wright-Phillips, and Portland Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri.
