Read what Impact midfielder Blake Smith he had to say after his first professional goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Union. He even celebrated in spectacular fashion, with a well-executed backflip.
On scoring his first goal…
It felt great to get my first goal. It’s something I worked hard for and for it to come in that moment, especially to help secure the win for the team, I am fortunate that it comes to culmination the way it did.
On coming on for his fourth straight game…
It’s great that the coaches have the confidence in me to bring me on in a tight game and an important situation. I was lucky enough to get the goal tonight.
