Gustav Svensson became a big game hero for his Seattle Sounders last night when the team defeated Minnesota United and advanced to the final in the US MLS.
But it seemed dark for a long time for the Northwest team, which was trailed by two goals for a long time.
“I can’t even find words”
The journey to victory, advancement and comeback began in the 75th minute when Seattle’s Will Bruin finally managed to introduce reduction. The next minute, the team replaced Gustav Svensson and went to a draw.
Just over ten minutes later, in the 89th minute, the draw was a fact when striker Raúl Ruidiaz pushed there 2-2 after a difficult situation. Then it was thought that there was an extension waiting.
But Gustav Svensson wanted something else, and in a corner in the last minute of the game, the Swede came up and clearly headed the ball into the far goal.
– I can’t even find the words, exclaim the commentators in the match.
The goal meant winning and advancing to the final, which is played on Saturday.
The Seattle Sounders have become something of a giant in the US MLS and have now reached the final four times in the last five years.
Gustav Svensson has played in the last two and Saturday may be the Swede’s third final when the team first meets the Columbus Crew in the Eastern Conference.
