In a match that featured Axel Kei on the field for 45 minutes, Zack Farnsworth playing his first-ever first-team minutes after a really long injury layoff, and a first-half Justin Meram red card, the real story is this: In a 2-1 Leagues Cup Showcase loss to Atlas, Aaron Herrera scored a goal from the defensive third.
There’s more to the story, of course. That goal came early — the 17th minute — and it was just as perfectly placed a shot over the goalkeeper as you could ask for. It was a tremendous, audacious chip, and Herrera hit the target perfectly.
