Here are the top five goals from the final week of MLS in March. If you missed Matchday 4's selection, check those out too.

It hasn't been an enjoyable season for Sporting Kansas City, losing five of their first six games, but Daniel Salloi put them up 1–0 against FC Dallas on the weekend, with a perfect controlling touch on his thigh before smashing it home on the volley. Unfortunately for his SKC side, they fell 2–1.

It wasn't the day LAFC would have imagined, falling 3–2 to their newest California rival, San Diego FC, but Artem Smolyakov certainly got their fans excited with a blistering effort from midfield to give them a chance after going 3–0 down early in the match.

When you think of Tiki Taka, it's probably the warmth of Spain and the heights of FC Barcelona, but how about Minneapolis, Minnesota? Tani Oluwaseyi scored twice in the Loons' 2–0 win over Real Salt Lake, but the first goal was right out of a Pep Guardiola dream, linking passes together in midfield before the striker headed home for the eventual winning goal.
