5. Danny Hoesen's Wondeful Header
With his team down a goal forward Danny Hoesen brought the Quakes back into the game in the 45th minute.
Just moments prior to the halftime whistle, left-back Florian Jungwirth, used the space he was given to play a ball into the box. The German used his left foot to send a cross into the Crew's box, a perfect opportunity for a teammate to get on the end of it.
In true poacher fashion, striker Danny Hoesen was in the perfect position for Jungwirth's placed pass. The 27 year-old got his head on the ball, sending it back to where it came from and into the left side of the goal.
