Benny Feilhaber just cannot be stopped.

Having scored four goals in the past seven days, Feilhaber continued his tear with AGF Aarhus on Sunday as he assisted on two goals and scored a clutch game-winner in a 3-2 victory over Koge.

Feilhaber's decisive goal may have been his biggest one to date at the club level. Having come back from a 2-1 deficit, Aarhus earned three points when Feilhaber stepped up and curled a free kick into the back of the net from 23 yards out in the 92nd minute.

Michael Bradley and Herculez Gomez also scored this weekend for their respective clubs. Bradley got on the scoreboard in Borussia Moenchengladbach's 2-2 draw vs. Schalke 04 with one of his trademark late runs into the box, while Gomez calmly finished his first goal with Pachuca in the club's 3-1 triumph over Estudiantes.

No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race.
