Nicolas Lodeiro scored one of the most amazing goals in MLS this season. In case you somehow forgot in the frustration over the ultimate result, let me remind you: Lodeiro took Clint Dempsey’s blocked free kick out of the air on the outside of his left boot, somehow threaded it through a wall of three defenders standing just a couple feet away and through a sea of deeper defenders and kissed it off the inside of the far post. Right now, it’s probably the most impressive goal anyone has scored in MLS, if we’re simply basing it on degree of difficulty.
