ESPN's SportsCenter doesn't usually show soccer highlights — preferring to show incessant home runs and slam-dunks that look like mirror images of every other home run and slam-dunk — but when it does, you can rest assured that it's a 40-yard banger or impossible bicycle kick from range.

On Saturday night, trailing St. Croix 2-1 in USL2 play, the Des Moines Menace's Fernando Garcia got the attention of SportsCenter with a flying golazo from nearly 15 yards out. 

It came in at No. 3 in the Top 10.

Des Moines would add four more in the second half for a 6-2 victory.

Des Moines is on top of the Deep North Division with two wins from two games. They lost to Union Omaha 2-1 in the second round of the U.S. Open Cup.
