It was the perfect buildup to the perfect finish.
Gerso Fernandes' left-footed curler sealed Sporting Kansas City's 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake on Wednesday and culminated a dreamy passing sequence that clocked in at nearly a minute and saw all 11 Sporting players touch the ball.
Not too surprisingly, the wonderfully worked scoring play has Gerso among the candidates for AT&T Goal of the Week. Fan voting is open through Saturday at 8 a.m. CT.
Gerso came off the bench in the 84th minute of Wednesday's contest and made his mark just two minutes later to open his 2020 scoring account in style.
