The MLS Cup Playoffs have finally hit their stride in the last few days with some stunning results and plenty of drama. But it wouldn’t be MLS without some superb goals to look back on as well.
Let’s take a look at some of the best strikes in the playoffs so far.
Luca Orellano vs NYCFC
The man is a walking highlight reel, and he put on another show against NYCFC in the second game of their Eastern Conference showdown earlier this week.
First the nutmeg, then the finish!
Joseph Paintsil vs Colorado Rapids
The Galaxy were rampant in the opening round against Colorado, and frankly there were three or four candidates to make it in this list, but Joseph Paintsil’s strike in the dying seconds of the first-half against the Rapids the other night was the best of the bunch.
Xande Silva vs Inter Miami
We all watched the moment, and it provided goosebumps for everybody outside of Miami. Last-gasp game winning goals aren’t always pretty, but this one certainly was.
Cristian Olivera vs Vancouver Whitecaps
The LAFC-Vancouver series may just be the best of lot in the opening round of the playoffs, and we’ve got an exciting third game just on the horizon. But back in game one, Critstian Olivera pulled off a superb strike from an acute angle.
Jordi Alba vs Atlanta United
It’s not often a one of the Barça boys in Miami makes this list and it isn’t Leo Messi or Luis Suárez, but Jordi Alba’s stunner to beat Atlanta in game one was too good to ignore.
