Dom Dwyer's thunderous strike up for MLS Goal of the Week

Dom Dwyer - Sporting KC vs FC Dallas - September 18, 2015

For the second straight weekend, a Sporting Kansas City forward has scored one of best goals across Major League Soccer.


On the same day that Krisztian Nemeth won the vote for AT&T MLS Goal of the Week, Dom Dwyer conjured a superb strike of his own in a 3-1 victory over FC Dallas. His left-footed bullet in the 83rd minute sealed a precious victory and is one of five nominees for top goal in Week 29.



Fan voting for AT&T MLS Team of the Week will remain open until Friday morning at 1:59 a.m. CT. Sporting Kansas City players have won the weekly honor on four previous occasions this season: Benny Feilhaber has two (Week 8, Week 21), Nemeth has one (Week 28) and Dwyer is in contention for his second (Week 12). At season's end, every MLS Goal of the Week will be up for AT&T MLS Goal of the Year.


Dwyer leads Sporting Kansas City with 15 goals in 2015 -- 10 in MLS and five in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Despite playing regularly for just three seasons, his 43 career goals in all competitions are tied with Sporting Legend Chris Klein for fourth most on the club's all-time chart. In addition, his 32 league goals since the start of 2014 are the most over a two-year span by any player in team history.
