2023 MLS MatchDay 27 Goals

They want to keep that record going. Yeboah, McCann on that inside channel. Yeboah, pulls it back. We've already seen Morris pull the trigger once from distance. He's done it again! What an absolute scorcher from Aiden Morris. Columbus' lead. Chucho from the spot. And cool as you like, from Columbus' number nine. Just strokes at home, sends the keeper the wrong way. And what a start, the hell is real here tonight. Celebrating their League's Cup trophy and their victory there, Morris just skips away from the challenge from Kuba. Ramirez. Jason Russell, roll! And there's the cherry on top. Three points are sealed. Three goals on the night. And Columbus' crew have their revenge. In a sense, at this stage, it's going to be a strike. It's going to be a shy goal, you would suspect. Was there enough of an angle if Tolkien's going to take it? Left footer. He'll be able to squeak it in. It's Tolkien round the wall. And he scores! His first goal of the season. A huge goal for the Red Bulls. The breakthrough comes late in the game. Reynoso. Good touch. Fun to watch that partnership continue to develop. Great goose! What a shot! Visitors stun the crowd here and take the lead. You can see a quick glance up. Now Mendoza-Garcia. What will he do this time? He wants insurance! He'll get it! Should put it to bed. He'll have a crack! The post! Still a lot for Montreal! It's Maggio Schwanier! Montreal land the first punch at BMO Fields! Game over for Bologna. Oh, lovely. That was intentional. Vilssa. Vilssa with the strike. Plumbed away! The rebound! It's in! He didn't know much about it. Mahalo Opoku! But it counts nonetheless. The work done once again from Jules-Anthony Vilssa. I would say Opoku really, really, really take care of that pass. You can get a guy in. You need to underhit those balls. I love the turn from Opoku. But it's the next play. You can find Opoku there. That's a chip from him! Sans-Romero! The opposite way! And Montreal! Nice! Led through for the majority of stoppage time. Pience. Saliba wasn't expecting it. Signal of intent from Chicago Fire in the opening stages of the second half. Navarro. Over the heads. Here's Pineda again! Amongst the crowd! Amongst the noise! Amongst the tension! Chicago Fire jubilation! Torres, the man over the ball. A litany of white and purple to aim for. Torres with the ball in. And it's in! Good response from Orlando City! Gloriously done! Time and time again. Get through against Santos Laguna. Trying to push into Miami as well. But great response from him. Here's Facundo Torres! Well dealt with by Teran. Falling from the left-hand side. He's whipped dangerously towards goal! It's two! Things have turned around! Real chance for Orlando. Facundo Torres scored two against Chicago in the last meeting. In a 3-1 win for Orlando City in July. Yes he can! In emphatic fashion! He's stumped it into the top corner! And his purple patch against Chicago Fire continues! Ivicic. Trying to stop him. Nobody has yet. Can Ivicic buck the trend here? It's Bassi! Right down the middle this time. Business as usual for Ramin Bassi. And the Dynamo get their noses in front early at Shell Energy Stadium. More careless again from Claudio Bravo. It's been an awkward start for the Portland defence. This is Karaskia! On to Baird. Coco Karaskia who has lots of eyes trained on him at the moment. His cross for Herrera! And 2-0! It's Quinones! The Dynamo cashing in and making the Timbers pay for their sloppy defensive start. Corey Baird with the flag staying down again! And it's 2-0! Quite remarkable the quick restart. The Timbers were asleep again. And Corey Baird is the player to cash in. He had himself a great Leagues Cup campaign. And he's back amongst the goals in MLS 2. Crossing his team on both occasions. Little combination with Baird. Is it going to be 4? Escobar! It is 4! They're making it look so easy, aren't they? The Houston Dynamo simply obliterating the Timbers defence as if it wasn't there. For most teams, 11 games left in the regular season. There's Brad Smith storming forward. What a run by him. Smith! How about that for an introduction to the game? Oh my. When you are hot, you are hot. And this Houston Dynamo team it seems like they can do no wrong. Nearly an identical position. Leuven clips it. Attacking! What a sensational header from Tim Parker! Finlay can't offload. Leuven has it. And Leuven sprays it beautifully to the onrushing Giochini. Nico Giochini now. Standing up Cascante. GIOCHINI! Jackson lofts it beautifully. Rasmus Ohm has Giochini inside. Crosses! GIOCHINI! What a save! Second time around! Pounced home from Driussi's penalty. You gotta miss like that from a star player like that There's just something a little off. St. Louis now looking for that fourth goal. That insurance goal! And that is game here at City Park. Valencia for Pereira. Here's Danny Pereira. Gallagher now on the byline. Back across. Oh what a goal! Austin have a late late lifeline. 87th minute. There's two goals back in it again. St. Louis inside the area. A five star performance from St. Louis City. And Ostrak enters with a plop. Driussi Rigoni. Oh! It's a goal. It's another goal for Austin. This has been a wild game at City Park. I'll let you tell them which one you pick then. Oh the pass is cut off. Adenaran now looking for a second It will be another occasion where a Lanza player could maybe make a run off of one. Oh and it's in! A great delivery. And they have scored the opener. It's Iacomacchis. Iacomacchis hasn't been involved much in the first ten minutes but now he's involved. He's given the road team the advantage in Seattle. Almada Far post is on if they can see it. And it's Iacomacchis making a run and he heads it down. A brace for Yorgos Iacomacchis. And supporters who have made just about as long of a trip as you can make in major league soccer are delighted. Enters the box once again cuts it back. Nobody there on the receiving end. There's been several instances of that for Loria. So good at getting into the final third. And here comes that counter. But Bobasi has options. Espinosa! First chance of the match really for San Jose and they make good. Espinosa back on the board. It's 1-0 San Jose. But the moment that he plays it very clearly in an offside position but Diego Rubio and Lalas Abubakar did not like the fact that Mario Gonzalez took the shot and found the back of the net after the flag was raised and the whistle was blown. Ilias Sanchez. Vela maybe offside. This time flag stays down. It remains Della. Back from a short injury spell. Picks up right where he left off. Two goals in that Juarez game. On the mend. Back on the scoring ledger. And hit a curling ball first time into his number 9 for LAFC and Gonzalez just hadn't read it. So the familiarity will continue to evolve. Hollingshead Mario Gonzalez points where he wants it Hollingshead calls his own up. Tucks it away. Top bid. 36th minute. LAFC are opening it up. The scoring defenders in MLS history has done it again. And ultimately it comes down to results, right? That is the challenge. Week in, week out. Game after game results. Duenas. Buanga is the charm. Instead of celebrating fouls down to Denny Buanga who unselfishly landed it out. Quique Oliveira makes it 4-0 LAFC on his debut.
