Columbus Crew star Lucas Zelarayan broke a record on Wednesday night when he scored the longest free-kick in MLS history.
Zelarayan started in attacking midfield for the Crew as they travelled to face Charlotte FC in a rearranged fixture. As the clash entered the 36th minute, a series of remarkable events ended with the Crew celebrating the opening goal of the game.
Charlotte midfielder Ben Bender attempted to catch Crew keeper Eloy Room off guard with a shot from midfield, but the Curaçao international was alive to the danger. Less than 30 seconds later, Zelarayan was fouled just inside the Crew's attacking half, with the Armenian stepping up to take it.
