Is this Eric Hassli goal vs Seattle Sounders for the Vancouver Whitecaps the goal of the season for MLS 2011? Judging by the video of the Hassli goal, it is hard to dispute that fact. Hassli’s goal vs the Sounders came in the 85th minute of the Sounders vs Whitecaps MLS game and was the equalising goal for the Canadian outfit.
Hassli collects a misplaced pass from opposition defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and then unleashes a stunning volley from the corner of the box that Sounders keeper Kasey Keller can do little to stop. The 30 year old French striker called it the best goal of his career so far, and when you look at the video, there’s little reason why you would not nominate this Hassli goal vs Seattle to be the MLS goal of the season for 2011.

Reactions to this fabulous Hassli goal
Kasey Keller:- ” I could give him that shot probably another 99 times and I don’t know if he’s going to score it, but he did. Sometimes you’ve just got to shake somebody’s hand and say, ‘Hey, that’s a hell of a goal.’ ”
Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid:- “Magnificient”
