Zandi proves clutch with golden goal win for Union II

After a scoreless 90 virtual minutes, Philadelphia Union II advanced to the next round of the USL eCup: FIFA20 Edition with a golden goal winner from Zach Zandi to defeat Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, 1-0.

Suiting up with the Spanish National Team, Zandi didn't stick with the club's iconic tiki-taka style switching to what he knows best: pressing and counter attacks. After a few minutes of settling into the esports competition, Zandi turned up the pressure and limited chances from Colorado's Paraguay side. The match was nearly won at the death with a shot from Rodrigo but the Spaniard's left-footed shot from 20 yards out rang off the post.
