Energy Moment of the Matchday 10: Marco Pašalić

Marco Pašalić continues to wreak havoc against opposing MLS defenses with his "weapon" of a left boot.

Orlando City SC's new Designated Player, who touted the virtues of his dominant foot earlier in the season, once again used his best asset to maximum effect during a man-of-the-match display in Saturday's 3-0 victory over rivals Atlanta United.

The 24-year-old Croatian international capped the performance with a brilliant long-range strike that earned him Energy Moment of the Matchday presented by Celsius for Matchday 10.

After assisting on Alex Freeman's goal that added to Luis Muriel's first-half penalty-kick tally, Pašalić put the exclamation point on a memorable night at Inter&Co Stadium by unleashing a stunning left-footed shot from distance.

"It came right to my feet. I didn't stop the ball too well, but then I turned around and saw that nobody was there," Pašalić told reporters of his memorable strike.

"I took the ball, and I saw I had no pressure and that I was not so far away from the goal, so then I shot it and finished.”

Saturday's result put Orlando back in the win column after three straight scoreless draws, pushing the Lions to seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 4W-2L-4D record (16 points).

Pašalić & Co. will look to build on their momentum during Saturday's Matchday 11 visit to Chicago Fire FC (8:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass).
