Alberg's rocket vs. San Jose Earthquakes named TruMark Financial Goal of the Month for August

Roland Alberg's rocket against San Jose Earthquakes was voted the TruMark Financial Goal of the Month for August by fans.

In the 55th minute of the match against San Jose, with the Union and Earthquakes deadlocked at one, Alberg was sitting at the top of the box when Jack Elliott redirected a pass from Medunjanin right to him. Alberg trapped the ball and then immediately ripped a shot low to the left post. His shot beat the diving Andrew Tarbell, and the Union had the 2-1 lead.
