AT&T Goal of the Week: Week 8
>
Week 8 of the Major League Season brought us goals on goals, particularly in a wild Saturday of action. Now you get to choose the best one by voting for the AT&T MLS Goal of the Week in the poll to the right.
Great dribbling moves were the impetus for two of the five nominees. On Friday night, FC Dallas attackers Fabián Castillo and Mauro Díaz combined for the opening goal, with Castillo skinning multiple defenders before playing the ball across the box to Díaz for the finish. On Sunday, LA Galaxy teenager Bradford Jamieson IV scored his first MLS goal with a cutback inside the penalty area and a low, driven finish. Both Dallas and LA, although leading at the time of the goals, settled for 1-1 road ties.
The other three nominees came from farther out. New England Revolution left back Chris Tierney opened the scoring in a 4-0 rout of Real Salt Lake with some fine dribbling moves in tight space and a curling finish on his non-preferred right foot to get himself in the mix. Vancouver Whitecaps Designated Player Pedro Morales struck less than two minutes into their game against D.C. United with a technical, accurate finish inside the right post, but D.C. rallied for a 2-1 road win. Last but probably not least, Sporting Kansas City midfielder Benny Feilhaber silenced the Houston Dynamo crowd with a ferocious 25-yard bullet deep into stoppage time for the final blow in a wild 4-4 tie.
Which goal struck your fancy? Vote now, and the winner will be announced on Friday based off your online votes.
