Orellano hit the back of the net in spectacular fashion when lining up against the Philadelphia Union. There appeared to be little on when he picked up possession just inside his own half with an hour on the clock, but the South American spotted Oliver Semmle off his line and proceeded to float a long-range effort over the German goalkeeper’s head.
WHAT NEXT?
That Beckham-esque strike helped Cincinnati to a dramatic 4-3 win, as Luciano Acosta netted the decisive goal in the 10th minute of stoppage-time. That success has kept Cincy hot on the heels of Messi and Inter Miami in the MLS Eastern Conference – as they sit two points adrift of the table-topping Herons with two games in hand.
