The LA Galaxy are cruising against Colorado in the opening game of the best-of-three series between the two Western Conference foes, but the best goal of the night came from the unlikeliest of sources.

Despite boasting the likes of Riqui Puig, Marco Reus, Gabriel Pec and other attacking gems, it was left-back John Nelson, who got a surprise start on the night, that stepped up to curl a sweet finish into the top-corner.

Now that's how you score your first goal in MLS...

Riqui Puig made it 3-0 just two minutes later, all but driving the final nail in the coffin for the Rapids.
