SportsCenter thinks this was the second best play of the night in their Top 10 and it’s own highlight segment.
I think it’s a foul. But no whistle blew, and the goal and scoreline stand.
Yes Mr Danny Barrera, in my opinion, your game winning, standing scorpion kick goal against Philadelphia Union II that is being lauded and praised for its spectacular wonder and rarity...should have been called back and whistled as encroachment/delaying the restart and Hartford Athletic should have likely drawn the game 2-2.
I have been saying this since Bradley Wright-Phillips encroached on Bobby Shuttleworth in the 2014 Eastern Conference Final first leg and will continue to say this when it comes up seemingly once a year:
If obstructing a goalkeepers distribution was legal we would see this play multiple times a week.
