Monday, August 19 marked the one-year anniversary of Federico Higuaín's first match with the Crew. Since debuting as a halftime substitute against the Houston Dynamo, the Argentine has become one of the top playmakers in MLS, earning the 2012 MLS Newcomer of the Year award along the way.

While Higuaín's latest tallies have certainly ignited a spark in the Crew and its fanbase, the playmaker's world class finishes should not come as a surprise. Over the past 365 days, Higuaín is among the League's best in goals and assists.
