Andrija Novakovich ended a goal draught on Wednesday with a beautiful strike against one of the Netherlands top sides.
The U.S. Men’s National Team forward scored his club’s lone goal in their 4-1 defeat to Feyenoord sending Fortuna Sittard out of the KNVB Cup.
With his team trailing 1-0, Novakovich made a strong run before beating a defender and sending his shot beneath a sprawling Feyenoord goalkeeper.
