Portland's third goal started with another opportunity for da Costa, which Lundt saved well. da Costa collected the rebound and slid it to a trailing Velde. Timo Baumgartl, who had just recovered from sliding to defend da Costa's shot attempt, was miles away from the Norwegian when he received the pass on the edge of the box. This space allowed Velde to push the ball out to his right, letting him run onto a wicked curved shot that bent around Baumgartl, past Lundt, and off the far post and in - an absolute cracker of a goal. Timo probably could have closed down faster to prevent Velde from having all that time and space, but credit where it's due - it was an outstanding strike from the Norwegian.   submitted by   /u/STLSoccerNews   to   r/stlouiscitysc [link]   [comments]
