    I don't know this to be a fact, but I think olimpico goals are about as rare as perfect games in baseball. There have probably been more of them, but there have also been far more soccer games played than baseball games. This was the first time I've actually ever seen one as it happened and not on a replay. It was amazing!!

    I believe Ledesma had a couple of them in 2018 (I think one was called back).

    Hopefully the team can start converting some of their attempts. It feels like we have missed 7 or 8 easy goals since the restart of in market games.

    I believe an olimpico goal is one scored on a corner kick, hence it being a rarity

    I know. Ledesma did it against Richmond in 2018 https://twitter.com/fccincinnati/sta...465008128?s=21 (0:50 of the highlight)

    My other comment was just more talking about that I hope the team starts finishing their chances so we can string some wins together.

    That's exactly what it is. An untouched/unassisted goal on a corner kick.

    I saw a fourth grader do it last weekend.

    Never too early to get that kid into our academy system.
