🎥 The top 5️⃣ goals from the MLS weekend
Major League Soccer produced yet another batch of highlight-reel worthy goals after an action-packed weekend. Let's take a look at some of the best from Matchday 22. 5. Ian Smith vs New England Every Portland Timbers fan will have loved what they saw at Providence Park with this one. A beautiful team move eventually saw the ball fall right into open space before Ian Smith beautifully sliced home the opener. 4. Erik Thommy vs Colorado Rapids (Goalkeeper assist!) We're adding Sporting Kansas City to this list thanks to an outrageous goalkeeper assist. Erik Thommy was the matchwinner against Colorado after John Pulskamp found him. Some slick thinking and footwork here from the pair! 3. Noel Caliskan vs St. Louis City Playing at right-back on the night, you might not have had Noel Caliskan as the man to pull out a cracking opener for Real Salt Lake, but boy, did he ever. The 24-year-old stood poised outside the box before bending the ball into the far opposite corner. 2. Hannes Wolf vs Toronto FC This one was just pure X-Games mode. A wild cross from Mitja Ilenič found Hannes Wolf at the back post, and he blasted the ball off the woodwork and in for the opener. 1. Lionel Messi vs CF Montreal It had to be, didn't it? It's just like old times for the little boy from Rosario as Lionel Messi cut through multiple CF Montreal players with ease. It's like butter. Advertisement Which one was your favourite?
