TULSA, Okla. – Phoenix Rising FC legend Didier Drogba added another spectacular long-range free kick to his highlight reel on Saturday night as the former Ivory Coast and Chelsea striker put home a blast to the top-right corner from 40 yards out against Tulsa Roughnecks FC at ONEOK Field.
Coming after last season’s strike against the LA Galaxy II from the same range, the free kick added to the legacy Drogba is going to leave on the field in Phoenix, but we want to know which of the two outstanding free kicks was your favorite?
OH MY GOODNESS @DidierDrogba

Drogba’s free kick certainly resonated around the sporting world last night, with people chiming in from around the globe on the latest brilliant finish of the 40-year-old’s outstanding career on social media.
There's something pretty cool about Didier Drogba still doing remarkable things at age 40 on a minor-league US soccer field. Love of the game. https://t.co/yCDzhScoPn

Have watched a fair amount of @PHXRisingFC this year and honestly Drogba is still a pleasure to watch. Has lost a step but plays with the same sort of joy Ronaldinho did for so many years. Just looks thrilled to be out there, still.
