Last weekend’s abbreviated MLS schedule featured only six games, but the league wasn’t shy of brilliant goals. Here are some of the best strikes from Saturday’s action.
5. Julian Hall vs Sporting KC
Despite being 16 years old, Julian Hall pulled off expert footwork in the box before rolling home an 89th-minute equalizer. It resulted in quite the reaction from goalkeeper Tim Melia, too.

4. Christian Benteke vs Chicago Fire
Christian Benteke’s first touch was simply brilliant here. He’s now the outright MLS Golden Boot leader with 18 goals this season. As pure a striker as ever.
3. Albert Rusnák vs Columbus Crew
We know midfielder Sean Zawadzki acted as a makeshift goalkeeper, but that does not diminish Albert Rusnák’s powerful free-kick for Seattle.

2. Alan Pulido vs NYRB
A brilliant nutmeg on New York Red Bulls goalkeeper Ryan Meara from a tight angle? Take a bow, Alan Pulido!
1. Andrew Gutman vs D.C. United
