If anyone thought that Raúl Ruidíaz only knew how to score penalties, they should watch this video over and over again. The Peruvian forward took a sip of inspiration and anger to unleash a powerful right-footed shot from 30 meters out, leaving Tigres' goalkeeper, Nahuel Guzmán, like a statue, as he watched the ball draw a perfect parabola.
Towards the end of the match at the Universitario Stadium, the 'Pulga' received the ball in the center of the field and resolved it in two touches: control and shot to celebrate his fourth goal in the Clausura 2018 of the Liga MX, where he already has 35 goals in 63 matches played.
Unfortunately for Ruidíaz and the 'Monarquía', the amazing goal wasn't enough and they lost 2-1 against Tigres, who prevailed with goals from Gignac and Carioca in the ninth round of the tournament.
It was Tigres' second consecutive victory, accumulating 15 points to place themselves in fourth position. Monarcas, on the other hand, suffered their third defeat in their last four matches and with their 13 points they are currently in the tenth position.
