MLS: New England Revolution's Juan Agudelo Scores on Unbelievable Chip |
MLS News | |||||

On Saturday, August 17th, young star Juan Agudelo got the call for his club the New England Revolution against the visiting Chicago Fire in a crucial Eastern Conference matchup. This was little over a week since it had been confirmed that Mark Hughes and Stoke had reached an agreement with the Colombian-born player that would bring him to England at the start of January. I'm sure Mark Hughes will be even more happy with his decision after he sees what Agudelo did to open the scoring in this crucial fixture. It's still the wee hours of the morning in England, so I would assume he was asleep when this happened: As Chris Tierney hit a great ball over the top from behind the halfway line, Juan Agudelo realized the onrushing keeper would prevent him from hitting the ball straight at the goal for a classic breakaway finish. With this in mind, he had, as the commentator said, the audacity to hit this with his HEEL, looping the ball way over the keeper from maybe 10 or 12 yards out. While it's unclear upon viewing if it actually went in because of the attempted defensive clearance, the assistant referee affirmed that it had crossed the line. The American international did this knowing good and well that it could have easily gone wrong and that he could have looked like an idiot. World-class. The New England Revolution won the match 2-0 and are now sixth in the East with 33 points. The Fire are two points back in seventh place. Since only five teams from each conference make the playoffs, the Revolution will need more goals from Agudelo to ensure qualification. Read more MLS news on BleacherReport.com Source: Click Here
