And after scoring his goal he celebrated with Sacha Kljestan. LINK

I'm not sure if anyone else was paying attention to Najar during this game, but it's obvious the kid is a stud. Without a doubt the big clubs are going to be paying attention after the performance he put in last night.

And for those who don't know him, he's a Honduran DC United academy product who snuck across the Mexican border when he was thirteen. He might have been able to play for the U.S. at one point but it was never likely. From what I inserstand he never even really learned English despite being here several years.

I wouldn't say he demolished our back line. He gave us fits, though. Najar did his best when he got away from Gibbs, who continues to be stellar.

He's outstanding, nonetheless, and was the most dynamic player on the pitch for most of the night.

He didn't demolish anything. Our right side was exposed because of our personal and shape, as evidenced by the fact that Gibbs had nine tackles and four interceptions, which was more than the rest of the defense combined. The cross that led to the goal was by Praet, who looks to be a real player.

Najar is a fine enough player, but his play was exacerbated by the fact that Gibbs went beyond him every offensive move, and then had to show impressive recovery to even get back into position. One on one I would take Gibbs every day over Najar.
