1,118. That’s how many goals were scored in USL Championship in 2024. But 16 stood above the rest and are now nominated for Goal of the Year.
Representing Republic FC is none other than Captain Rodrigo Lopez who once again created set piece magic against Phoenix Rising on May 4. After Trevor Amann was brought down just outside the box, Lopez stepped up to the spot and in typical RoRo fashion sent a curler through the smallest gap in the wall and past the goalkeeper.
Fans can vote for RoRo’s goal now through Friday at 2:00 p.m. at USLChampionship.com. The winner of each group will advance to next week’s final.
