110921_agudelo_620

Juan Agudelo's goal against DC United has advanced to the next stage of MLSSoccer.com's Goal of the Year competition. Agudelo's strike beat out the first round field of entries that included Kenny Cooper (Portland), Alex Dixon (Houston) and Nick LaBrocca (Chivas).


Now, as the Red Bulls' own 18-year-old forward looks to take home the Goal of the Year title, he'll aim to advance past yet another stage of contestants.


In this round, Agudelo competes against David Beckham (LA), Lamar Neagle (Seattle) and Adam Moffat (Houston).


Vote now for Agudelo, and be sure to check out the rest of the entries in Group 5 - 8 on MLSsoccer.com.
