MLS: Afful Nets Screamer For Columbus Crew

Black Stars full-back, Harrison Afful, opened his Columbus Crew scoring account with an absolute beauty in a 1-1 drawn game at home to Toronto FC.

The versatile defender latched onto a pearling from the right flank to register his first goal for the Yellow and Black as they continue to struggle in the division.

The Ghanaian import duly earned himself a MOTM award for his explosive performance on the night despite his side dropping points.

Afful joined the Yellows from Tunisian side, Esperance and, has since made himself a fundamental feature for the MLS side with 30 appearances to his name already.

The former Kumasi Asante Kotoko energetic full-back was named the best full back by fans of the MLS side and looks set to defend his title per his current form.
