WATCH: Aron Johannsson scores sublime strike for AZ Alkmaar, as U.S. international stays red-hot

Johannsson

.

If U.S. national team fans are worried about where goals are going to come from at the World Cup this summer, don’t fret... this kid Aron Johannsson is red-hot.

On Saturday USMNT forward Johannsson scored his 15th goal of the season for AZ Alkmaar against Heerenveen in the Dutch Eredivisie. Then added another before the break to put AZ 2-0 up.

If you watch the video above, you can see the 23-year-old’s first goal is no ordinary strike either. Johannsson beautifully cushioned a pull back on his right foot before hammering a controlled volley into the roof of the net to put AZ 1-0 up in the 16th minute.

Johannsson continued to impress early in the game as the AZ man looked lively and up for it. Will a strong end to his domestic campaign force Jurgen Klinsmann to start the American forward in Brazil this summer?

Scoring goals like this certainly won’t harm his chances.
