VIDEO: U.S. Olympic hopeful Jack McGlynn score outrageous long-range effort to rescue draw for Philadelphia Union against DC United

The 20-year-old midfielder, who will hope to make the United States men's squad for the upcoming Olympics in Paris alongside teammate Nathan Harriel, collected the ball from around 30 yards out and proceeded to fire it into the top corner. Alex Bono in goal for the hosts stood no chance of saving the almost laser-guided effort from McGlynn.

McGlynn's rocket helped Philadelphia complete an important comeback after they fell 2-0 behind at Audi Field to goals from Cristian Dajome and Jacob Murrell. Alejandro Bedoya halved the deficit just before the half-time break before McGlynn rescued a point in the 79th minute.

Young talent McGlynn has already been capped at senior level by the USA after shining in the youth teams. He was handed his debut in a 1-0 friendly defeat to Slovenia back in January.

Philadelphia's Major Soccer League season has got off to a mixed start, with Jim Curtin's side sitting eighth in the Eastern Conference with just three wins from their opening 10 matches. The onus will be on the likes of McGlynn to continue performing positively in order to boost the team's chances of making the playoffs - and increase his own chances of making the USA squad for the home World Cup in 2026.
