Simply sensational. That bring back shades of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's incredible goal against England in 2012.

That went on to win the Puskas Award, so there's no reason why Asprilla's isn't a contender either.

Granted, he profited off a terrible error from the San Jose goalkeeper. But that shouldn't take anything away from the goal.

Asprilla dedicated the goal to his late father in an emotional post-match press conference.

"I thought a lot about my dad when I scored that goal," he said through an interpreter, per MLSSoccer.com. "Just with all the adversity and how hard last year and 2020 was, I think that gave me strength to score a goal like that.

 "I have my superhero, I’m wearing my superhero right here. He has been an example for me always since the beginning, and it says right here only you know how incredible it was to be your son. Love you, Dad."
