On the same night that Eric Hassli scored what should be the goal of the season in the MLS, Sporting Kansas City and FC Dallas did their best to get their names on the list. Graham Zusi and Brek Shea added to an already outstanding night for goals with a long range cracked and a great individual effort.
FC Dallas forward Brek Shea scored to tie the score at 1-1 in the 32nd minute with a great run through the Sporting Kansas defense. Picking up the ball about 40 yards out, Shea turned and knocked the ball past three tackles before calmly slotting the ball through the Kansas keeper's legs. The home crowd sounded their appreciation for this piece of individual magic by Shea.
Graham Zusi does Brek Shea one better in the 55th minute making the score 3-1 for Sporting Kansas. From 45 yards out, Zusi lines up a free kick that he smashes into the back of the night. Zusi caught the Dallas keeper napping on this play but it was still a fantastic shot that dips just under the bar and smashes into the pole behind the net, just listen to the sound it makes.
Hassli, Shea, and Zusi's efforts were joined on the goals of week nominee card by Thierry Henry showing he still had it and Alan Gordon hitting a cracking volley. You can see all the candidates for MLS goal of the week and vote for your favorite HERE.
If you ever needed a reason to watch MLS soccer this weekend put on an exhibition of why you should tune in for next round for a chance to catch a glimpse of some more magic.
