MLS: Top Goals From Week 12
By Daniel Garza
It was a week full of fantastic goals as there were plenty of goals to choose from in this week’s edition of the top goals in the MLS.
Albert Rusnak (Real Salt Lake)
We begin this week’s goals with a laser from Rusnak against New York City FC. The Slovakian was the man of the match in RSL’s 2-1 win as he also provided an assist on the match-winning goal. He has scored three goals in 11 appearances thus far.

Pass, pass, and more passing was the key to this goal as the Fire put on a clinic to take a 2-0 lead. They would go on to win 3-0 against the Colorado Rapids.
Passing clinic. @iamdavidaccam finishes off some great team play from the @ChicagoFire. #CHIvCOL https://t.co/I81TpBWBDQ

Giovani dos Santos (LA Galaxy)
Clever, cheeky, these are just some of the words that describe dos Santos’ goal against Minnesota United. It’s definitely going to be one of the top goals of 2017.

Week 12 Winner
Ola Kamara’s stunner on Sunday was a tough choice to make in a week that was full of plenty of spectacular goals. However, this sublime hit stood above the rest.
