video: Daigo Kobayashi scores his first MLS goal in only his 2nd game

MLS has featured Japanese players in the past, but Vancouver’s Daigo Kobayashi is the first we’ve seen offer up a ceremonial bow as he came off for a 77th-minute substitution. When he reached the touchline, he turned back around facing the field and gave a subtle bow, a sign of appreciation and sportsmanship toward fans, officials and the opponent.

The goal could be goal of the week as Kobayashi scored from nearly 30 yards out. Kobayashi also had an assist last week in his first MLS action.
