Mosquera's AT&T Goal of the Year candidate came in the 36th minute, the 23-year-old Colombian latching onto a Whitecaps' clearance and smashing a full volley out of the air and into the top left corner, shocking the home crowd.

But Mosquera wasn't done getting in on the goals. Just over 10 minutes later, the young Colombian popped up in the final third again, this time setting up DP midfielder David Da Costa with a cheeky assist to give the Timbers a shock 2-1 halftime edge.

Unfortunately for Mosquera and his Portland teammates, the 'Caps were able to rebound, overcoming the halftime deficit with two second-half stoppage time goals to earn a come-from-behind 3-2 win.
