There were plenty of goals from the first matchday of the 2019 MLS season. Here are the 10 goals that made the cut for the first edition of the Top 10 Goals of the Week.

The first weekend of the 2019 Major League Soccer season got off to a hot start. There were plenty of top-notch and dramatic goals, a few screamers scored early and then some lovely finishes to win games late on.

The return of true, competitive action is always a wonderful event and the start of the MLS season did not let us down.

Ten through Seven

We begin this week with a perfectly placed ball from Darwin Quintero to Francisco Calvo. This pass was inch-perfect and Calvo was there with the diving header.

9. Michael Barrios vs. New England Revolution

FC Dallas got their first goal of the season from Michael Barrios. The winger took on the New England Revolution defense himself and came away with an early goal, firing it a low, driven shot across the goalkeeper and into the bottom corner.

8. Diego Rossi vs. Sporting Kansas City

Diego Rossi finds the bottom corner of the net and produced a fantastic finish to help level the match. Expect more great goals from Rossi as the season progresses. He has a taste for the fabulous.

7. Magnus Eriksson vs. Montreal Impact

A great turn and finish from Magnus Eriksson gave the San Jose Earthquakes a dream start. Although they went on to lose the match, Eriksson will gain some confidence from scoring a goal in this match. He’ll be a player the Earthquakes will need lots of goals from this season.
