OneFootball Videos

Minnesota United FC midfielder Joaquín Pereyra has won AT&T Goal of the Matchday honors for Matchday 22, securing 51.4% of the fan vote.

You may not see a better goal all season, as the Loons' Designated Player pulled off a jaw-dropping rabona finish to spark a 5-1 rout at the San Jose Earthquakes.

2nd place, Maya Yoshida (23%): The former Japanese international produced an audacious backheel goal in the LA Galaxy's 2-2 draw at CF Montréal.

3rd place, Denis Bouanga (17.3%): As has become typical for the Gabonese international, Bouanga split his defenders as he dashed toward the box before unleashing a powerful hit in LAFC's 1-1 draw against the Portland Timbers.

4th place, André Gomes (8.3%): The Portuguese midfielder opened his MLS account by curling in a gorgeous long-range free kick during the Columbus Crew's dramatic 3-2 defeat at Nashville SC.
