MLS star scores Roberto Carlos style goal in front of man himself and Ronaldinho

An MLS midfielder has broken his duck in style for with an audacious long range strike in front of legendary Brazilian pair Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos.

Prior to the game, Orlando City SC had announced that the former Selecao superstars would be in attendance at Exploria Stadium for the Eastern Conference encounter. It had appeared that the home side was heading for a routine victory against the Philadelphia Union, before a stunning equalizer from Jose Martinez earned his team a share of the points.

The Venezuelan midfielder may have had to wait three long years for his maiden goal for the Pennsylvanian outfit but it was certainly worth the wait, with his stunning piledriver reminiscent of Carlos himself in his pomp. After making some 80 appearances for the side since joining from Zulia, his last minute winner will certainly go down as a collector's item.
