Saturday night delivered plenty of excitement for Major League Soccer fans, and Joaquín Pereyra produced a moment that is certain to attract plenty of attention.
Minnesota United had fallen behind after Timo Werner converted a penalty for the San Jose Earthquakes, but a flash of brilliance brought the match back level.
The 27-year-old Pereyra then pulled off an audacious rabona seemingly from nowhere, while turning in a circle at the same time.
The spectacular strike left Pereyra, his team-mates and even those on the bench stunned.
It may well end up being remembered as a contender for the 2026 Puskás Award.
Tyler Tate captured the moment in 2026 Getty Images photographs.
