  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Jack McGlynn apparently loves scoring on long-range stunners.

  The U.S. international midfielder notched his second international goal, in his fifth USMNT cap, on an unbelievable rocket blast – beating Berke Özer from 20 yards out. The play which was sparked by Malik Tillman, gave the U.S. a 1-0 lead within the first minute.

  McGlynn scored his first USMNT goal from even further out, a 30-yard blast against Venezuela in the team's January camp.
