VIDEO: American forward Aron Johannsson scores overhead kick for AZ

The American forward got on the board in style Sunday, opening the scoring with a beautiful goal.

AZ Alkmaar striker Aron Johannsson opened the scoring for his side with a great overhead kick during an emphatic 4-1 Eredivisie away win over Excelsior in the last game of the season.

The 24-year-old American capitalized on a moment of uncertainty from the opposition defense and beat their keeper with a powerful close-range Chilena.

He scored the match's final goal as well, the ninth goal in 21 league matches this season for Johannsson. The striker will hope to earn a call to Jurgen Klinsmnan's United States side that will contest the Gold Cup.
