2nd place, Evander (15.3%): The Brazilian star unleashed another blast from outside the box, though FC Cincinnati ultimately settled for a 4-2 defeat against arch-rival Columbus Crew.

3rd place, David Da Costa (4.2%): The Portuguese No. 10's clinical finish gave the Portland Timbers an early lead in a Sunday Night Soccer presented by Continental Tire visit to St. Louis CITY SC.

4th place, Martín Ojeda (3.3%): Ojeda snuck his low free kick inside the near post in Orlando City's 1-1 draw with CF Montréal.
