An exceptional goal was scored overnight from Thursday to Friday in MLS. Salt Lake City defender Aaron Herrera scored from over 70m.
“What this goal looks like (look at what this goal looks like)”, raves the commentator. And how can you blame him? The goal scored by Aaron Herrera on Thursday night with Real Salt Lake against Atlas FC in the Leagues Cup is a real gem. However, he did not allow his team to win. The American club lost to the Mexican formation (1-2).
The American right side, on a harmless pass, asks no questions and hits the goal from more than 70m. The ball ends up in the back of the net. What purpose ! Even if the goalkeeper obviously makes the mistake of being far too advanced, the technical gesture made by the side is perfect. The lob is powerful, tense, and perfectly adjusted. So much so that he enters the goal without having touched the ground before.
The two teams took advantage of this international break to participate in a friendly competition. Eighth in MLS, Real Salt Lake has two games to try to make the top seven in the Western Conference, which would mean qualifying for the finals. Atlas FC has other concerns. The Mexican club is penultimate in its championship.
