There are some goals where as soon as they go in, you know they are special. Goals you know you’ll be failing miserably to re-enact in the backyard. Ones you’ll tell your grandkids about one day.
Ilsinho’s goal against NYCFC on Saturday was one of those kind of goals.
While not the game-winner, his ridiculous display put the Union up 2-0 en route to their biggest win of the season. But even if it was in a losing effort — heck even if it was just in training — it immediately shot up the list of all-time best goals in club history.
