This is unlikely to make anyone feel remotely better about Herculez Gomez’s waved off goal from Sunday, but we can now take some level in solace in the knowledge that even Simon Borg thinks the goal should have stood.
Whether or not the goal would have ultimately changed the outcome of the game is, of course, still very much open for debate as it was quite early in the match. As we know, the Sounders still managed to score the first goal — on Nicolas Lodeiro’s well taken free kick — and it’s quite impossible to say if that would have happened had Gomez scored.
