Did he really just do that?

Álvaro Barreal scored arguably the goal of the 2023 US Open Cup Tuesday night as he helped FC Cincinnati defeat Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC, 3-1, and book a berth in the semifinals.

The Argentine left back latched onto an out-swinging corner kick by Luciano Acosta and hit an audacious left-footed full volley perfectly, doubling the Garys' lead in the 71st minute at TQL Stadium.

Barreal then turned playmaker on FC Cincinnati's final goal vs. their USL Championship opponent, with Santiago Arias connecting on his corner kick and powering his header into the net in second-half stoppage time.
