Nobody believed what Raúl Ruidíaz just did
The 'Pulga' totally went off script by scoring an incredible goal against Atlas, after a magnificent pirouette in the air. And during the live broadcast, of course, the vibrant narration left no room for anything else but praise for the Peruvian. "What a goal, what a goal," repeated the commentator, trying to believe what he had just seen.
After a series of rebounds from the Atlas defense, Ruidíaz found himself with the ball on the penalty spot, in the air, and resolved the play with a brilliant pirouette. Saying it was a great goal falls short. It will be necessary to find a new adjective to describe what the 'Pulga' does in front of the goal.
Monarcas Morelia, with this impressive work of art, went into halftime with a 2-1 lead. Rodrigo Millar opened the scoring in the 34th minute, while Daniel Arreola, just three minutes later, equalized to 1-1, before Raúl Ruidíaz's gem.
Morelia and Atlas face each other in matchday 10 at the Morelos Stadium for the 2018 Clausura of Liga MX. Both Michoacán and the 'Zorros' need to win to recover from their recent defeats against Tigres and Monterrey, respectively.
