Gareth Bale scored what is being dubbed a 'wonder goal' overnight as his new club LAFC beat Real Salt Lake 4-1 in the MLS.
Wales and Major League Soccer each tweeted about the moment, which saw the Welsh captain run from his own half before rounding off with a fine finish.
Wales simply wrote 'Gareth Bale WILL score! GÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔL!!' in a tweet. Major League Soccer also got in on the act by celebrating what happened.
Lots of question marks are being raised by fans about the standard of defending in American football, but Bale's effort was reminiscent of similar solo stunners previously netted for Wales, Real Madrid and Tottenham.
On this occasion he started his run from inside his own half, displaying a rapid turn of pace to latch onto a pass that forced him wider than he would have liked. However, Bale proved he is still very much capable of producing moments out of nothing.
Out on the right wing, Bale was outnumbered by Real Salt Lake defenders, but showed them a clean pair of heels to race into the penalty box before having the composure to rifle a fierce left-footed effort above the dive of goalkeeper Zac MacMath.
Bale did not start the match but his impact as a substitute helped LAFC to their resounding win as they moved six points clear at the top of the Western Conference.
