Barnetta, Rosenberry earn weekly superlatives
While the Philadelphia Union didn’t get the result they wanted to against the Montreal Impact, it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Major League Soccer’s weekly superlatives came out yesterday, and the Union’s Tranquillo Barnetta and Keegan Rosenberry were both recognized.
Barnetta’s goal against the Impact was nominated for Goal of the Week. The Swiss midfielder hit this amazing shot during the run of play that froze Montreal goalkeeper Eric Kronberg.
Had it not been for a defensive lapse late in the game, Barnetta’s goal would have won the match for the Union. Barnetta’s goal is currently up against a goal by Sporting Kansas City’s Roger Espinoza.
