🎥 The top five goals from the MLS weekend

We are back once again for another installment of the top five goals across the latest MLS weekend.

Matchday 30 featured a Supporters’ Shield race that has yet to disappoint in 2025, as well as a bevy of top-class goals to satiate the footballing palate of fans and neutrals alike.

Here are the best hits and goalscoring bits from the weekend.

A bit of one-touch football never harmed anyone, unless you’re the opposition defense, of course.

Seemingly taking a page out of his father’s former playbook, Austin forward Owen Wolff scored an all-around beauty for Austin to continue his recent goalscoring run.

Retaining possession under pressure, Wolff laid off for Myrto Uzuni with a delicate pass, only to be put into the box with a one-touch return from the Albanian before dispatching a delightful chip up and over Thomas Gillier. Papa Wolff would be proud.

It’s been a season to forget in 2025 for MLS legacy outfit D.C. United, but there have still been a handful of magical moments that offer hope in the nation’s capital.

Picking up a point against Lionel Messi and Inter Miami may not mean much in the grand scheme of things, but as ever, there have been pieces of potential on display at Audi Field, and Jackson Hopkins’ goal certainly can be added to the list.

Showcasing a bit of quality, the 21-year-old settled a lofted ball into the box in near-perfect fashion before watching his half-volley effort scream past Rocco Rios Novo for his second MLS goal in as many games.

One of many MLS firsts we have seen this season, Elijah Wynder moved like a seasoned pro when he doubled the LA Galaxy’s advantage at home against visiting Colorado.

Following in the footsteps of club colleague Harbor Miller, who also netted his first in the opening 45 minutes, Wynder glided past three separate markers before laying off into the box for Miki Yamane, who played a first-touch pass right back to the young midfielder, with Wynder then redirecting first time past Zack Steffen.

Champagne stuff from the Galaxy and a brilliant first of what could be many for the 22-year-old.

We have seen Exocet missile strikes all season long in MLS, and if not for the frequency of them, this banger from Inter Miami’s Baltasar Rodríguez may well have been in the top spot this week.

Down a goal against a struggling D.C. United outfit, the 22-year-old Argentine pulled up from outside the box to unleash a thunderous drive top bins, leaving Luis Barraza without a hope or a prayer of making a save.

Take a bow for your first-ever MLS goal to guarantee your club a point on the road.

It could not have been a better hit to register your first MLS goal than Son Heung-min’s strike against Dallas. But are we really all that surprised?

The South Korean star has been as advertised since arriving in SoCal, and his free-kick hit to open the scoring away from home in the sixth minute may be in with a shout for Goal of the Season honors.

Settling in nicely to his new surroundings after a brilliant career in the top echelons of European football, his inclusion into the LAFC fold gives the Black and Gold plenty of quality to build a potential MLS Cup platform.
