You’ve probably heard of the chicken and the egg, but Minnesota United FC created its own debate when Emanuel Reynoso scored his first goal of the season in a 1-1 draw with Los Angeles FC on Saturday night.
Was the highlight Reynoso’s goal or Kervin Arriaga’s pass that led to it? We’ll let you decide.
The play happened when the Loons went on the attack in the 24th minute. Reynoso moved toward the box as he was flanked by Arriaga and Bongokhule Hlongwane and after a pretty display of passing, Arriaga flipped the ball over three defenders to a wide-open Reynoso in the box, who finished the play for the equalizer.

Arriga’s pass over three defenders is undoubtedly a great play but so is Reynoso’s goal, receiving the pass in mid-air and burying it into the back of the net with his left foot.
Either way, it was a solid night for the Loons, who are 7-7-8 on the season and are one point behind Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas for a spot in the Western Conference Final Series play-offs.
