Pass or shot?: Kemar Lawrence's match-winner for New York Red Bulls against Chicago Fire

On April 29, 2017, Kemar Lawrence scored the second goal of his career with New York Red Bulls: a 71st-minute strike that ultimately edged RBNY to a 2-1 win over Chicago Fire.

It was a good goal: under pressure, Lawrence conjured a confident, side-footed jab to the far post that...well, that we're not accustomed to seeing from him. In his time with RBNY, Lawrence has tended to be a pass-first, shoot-only-when-unavoidable sort of player, and when he does shoot, it often serves as a reminder that he's well advised to look for the pass first.
