It was hardly a question.
Even with his teammate Raul Ruidiaz as competition, Jimmy Medranda’s volley was the inevitable winner for Major League Soccer’s Goal of the Week. Medranda’s goal was the talk of the soccer town over the past few days, making international highlight reels. Medranda’s award-winning goal came in the 77th minute of the already-decided victory over rival Portland Timbers, volleying a corner kick from Joao Paulo off the underside of the crossbar past a helpless Aljaz Ivacic, who could only stand and watch.
Was there ever any doubt.
