Jacksonville Armada FC defender Mechack Jérôme stood over a free kick from 30-plus yards out, saw the league leader in goals against average in Ottawa Fury FC goalkepeer Romuald Pesier in net, but was undeterred. He let rip a firecracker of a strike for a sensational goal over the weekend.
While the Armada FC ultimately lost the match, 3-1, the goal by Jérôme, his first in the NASL, was one to remember. It also picked up Play of the Week honors in the penultimate weekend of the regular season.
