What a debut!
Following a massive intra-league transfer from the New England Revolution earlier this week, the U.S. international announced himself to Columbus fans with a goal. Just seconds after subbing onto the pitch, Jones bagged this brilliant effort en route to a 4-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City.

The cheekiest of attempts, Rodriguez scored this lovely panenka penalty kick attempt as New York City FC drew the New England Revolution 1-1 Friday. NYCFC advanced after a 7-6 victory in the ensuing penalty shootout, where Rodriguez also scored from the spot.
