Barrett's best-ever goal
Striker's blast up for Sierra Mist Goal of the Week
Toronto FC forward Chad Barrett describes his game-winning free kick against Colorado Rapids as the best goal of his career so far. Barrett's first half strike was the only goal of the game, and has earned him a nomination for the league's Goal of the Week award.

"It was a special goal in a bunch of ways," he said. "It was my first goal for the team in only my second game, it's easily the best goal I've ever scored and it helped give us a win. The monkey is off the back! People won't have to ask me questions now about when I am going to score. I plan to keep opening people's eyes. I feel I can help this team out and I plan to do so."
"I am not used to taking free kicks," said Barrett. "At Chicago, Cuauhtemoc Blanco would always take them, and here I wouldn't have been taking it if Amado Guevara or Laurent Robert were playing. I got my chance to take it and I capitalized on it which was nice."
