Real Salt Lake’s superstar striker pinged an AT&T Goal of the Year contender from his own half of the field in the 16th minute of Saturday’s game against Austin FC, leaving veteran goalkeeper Brad Stuver helpless with his long-distance stunner.
But the Colombian was far from done, following compatriot Anderson Julio’s two-goal outburst (24′, 31′) with a brace of his own right before the break to reach 15g/9a in just 17 matches this season. The 15 goals also give him sole possession of first place in the MLS Golden Boot presented by Audi standings – two clear of D.C. United star Christian Benteke.
