Mwanga edges Montero for AT&T Goal of the Week

Danny Mwanga celebrates his first pro goal.

Just as it did in the game, Danny Mwanga's late equalizer pulled it out in the end, as the Philadelphia Union rookie's opportunistic strike won the AT&T Goal of the Week for Week 8.


A late push from Union fans seemed to make the difference, as Mwanga earned 39% of the vote, edging Seattle Sounders striker Fredy Montero, who garnered 35%. FC Dallas attacker Brek Shea picked up 13%, followed by Chicago's Julio Martinez (10%) and Kansas City's Kei Kamara (2%).


Mwanga's goal came in the 93rd minute, when the teenaged striker pounced on a loose ball in the Dallas area and volleyed it home to earn the Union a 1-1 tie at home.
