April 22 | Gustav Svensson delivers golazo against Minnesota United


It took three matches for the Seattle Sounders to finally score their first MLS goal of 2018 at CenturyLink Field, and it was a doozy. Cristian Roldan dropped a pass to Gustav Svensson, who smashed home a ridiculous long-range effort into the top corner. The Sounders won 3-1 to claim their first victory of the MLS season.


Svensson finished with three goals and an assist in 24 matches in 2018, despite missing eight games this summer while helping Sweden reach the quarterfinals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
