Relive the best goals of MLS Week 19
Damion Lowe – Inter Miami
People believe that no own goal is bad, and Damion Lowe’s own goal on the weekend underlined this. The worst thing is that his side lost 1-0 as a result of this unlucky goal, but you can’t miss the way he takes the volleyed cross and beats his own goalkeeper in his attempt to clear it.
4.- Lalas Abubakar – Colorado Rapids
Another defender who volleyed it into the right net this time was Lalas Abubakar, who went on the attack in a desperate attempt to tie the game and managed to score a point for the Colorado Rapids. This scoring performance demonstrates that Abubakar can do more than simply defend, and it earned him a position on the MLS Team of the Week.
3.- Cucho Hernández – Columbus Crew
Cucho Hernández made his Columbus Crew debut memorable by scoring the game-winning goal in his team’s 3-2 comeback victory. The Colombian received a precise through ball and demonstrated his speed and scoring ability by sneaking it past the goalkeeper to delight the club’s Chicago fans.
2.- Roger Espinoza – Sporting Kansas City
Every player dreams of scoring from outside the box at some point, and Roger Espinoza had his chance to do just that over the weekend, and not just from outside the box, but from midfield.
The player intercepted a ball and then took advantage of the defense’s mistake to take the ball. When he noticed the goalie in offside position, he did not hesitate to shoot from distance, and the ball wound up within the three posts.
1.- Julián Carranza – Philadelphia Union
The Philadelphia Union scored a historic 7-0 win over D.C. United, with Julian Carranza scoring a hat-trick during the match.
Out of his three goals, the first was the most amazing one, as the Argentine took advantage of being alone in the box and bicycle kicked off a deflected volley to score the first of many goals to come that night.
