Joaquín Pereyra's rabona strike lands him in the running for the MLS Goal of the Year. On August 22, 2026, the Minnesota United midfielder made history by scoring a spectacular rabona goal against the San Jose Earthquakes, leading to a 5-1 victory. Pereyra's incredible technique and precision allowed him to outmaneuver goalkeeper Angus Gunn and secure a vital goal in the match.
The result marked the most lopsided win of Minnesota United's head coach Cameron Knowles' tenure since taking over ahead of the 2026 season. Pereyra not only scored the goal but also provided two assists, while Kelvin Yeboah added two more goals. Minnesota broke a nine-game winless streak and is now looking to climb back into the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs picture.
