Blas Perez basically scored a run-of-play olimpico

Whether it was purposeful or a complete accident, there won’t be many goals scored with a higher level of difficulty this season. Basically, Perez lobs in a hopeful ball from an impossible angle and standing just a few feet from the sideline. It’s the kind of ball that goalkeepers usually grab with little problem. But on this occasion, Whitecaps goalkeeper David Ousted gets caught completely flat-footed and the ball makes it over his head and somehow bends in. It’s the run-of-play equivalent of an Olimpico.

Perez would add a goal later in the match to give FC Dallas a much-needed 2-1 win over fellow playoff contenders Vancouver.
