Adam Moffat has been valuable to the New York Cosmos this season in his role as defensive midfielder, allowing midfield partners to run forward while shielding the back line from opposing counterattacks. But the do-it-all Scotsman has also showcased his prowess from the penalty spot.

When Lucky Mkosana won a foul inside the 18-yard box in the 38^th minute of New York's home matchup with Rayo OKC, Moffat stepped up and slammed the ball past goalkeeper Daniel Fernandes for his fifth score of the season.
