Seattle Sounders FC’s first appearance at Q2 stadium was nothing short of amazing this past Thursday night for not only the club but also for the ever-dangerous Raúl Ruidíaz. After spending the first 53 minutes of the match on the bench, Raúl took just 14 minutes to make it an even more unforgettable evening. The Peruvian forward’s 41-yard volley caught the Austin FC goalkeeper off of his line, propelling Raúl to the number one spot in the MLS Golden Boot race with 11 goals and sparking stunned reactions across social media.
During and after the match, celebrities and major sports accounts turned to Twitter to share their responses to the game-winning goal.
Seattle Seahawk's quarterback and Sounders owner Russell Wilson gave Ruidíaz a shoutout for his epic volley.
Of course, numerous former and current Sounders FC players were equally impressed with the Peruvian's moment of magic.
When the ball hit the back of the net, Twitter erupted as everyone tried to wrap their heads around what had just happened.
