Goal of the Matchday

FC Dallas' Fabian Castillo wins Week 3's AT&T MLS Goal of the Week award by a landslide

It may have been a well-worked team goal, but Fabián Castillo is the player who will earn the accolades for it.


Castillo was voted Week 3's AT&T MLS Goal of the Week winner by a large margin. Castillo claimed more than 55 percent of the week's vote for his close-range strike in FC Dallas' 3-1 victory over Chivas USA. The total was more than double of that from runner-up Bernardo Añor of the Columbus Crew, whose rippled the net with a long-range blast.


Castillo netted the 71st-minute opener in the after Mauro Díaz whipped in a free kick from 30 yards that midfielder Hendry Thomas nodded toward the center of the box, where Castillo pounced on the opportunity and rifled the ball into the back of the net with a one-time effort.


Final Votes - Week 3:

1. Fabián Castillo (DAL): 55.23%
2. Bernardo Añor (CLB): 21.76%
3. Álvaro Saborío (RSL): 11.62%
4. Erick "Cubo" Torres (CHV): 6.5% 
5. Robbie Keane (LA): 4.9%
