I agree. Looked like a goal to me
Replay shows it was pretty far back and he had to reach for it, no fault of his.
But that definitely rolled over the line at the end. Galavision just freeze-framed it and the ball was completely over the line.
Haha, what?
Ching definitely just scored his second goal, that definitely appeared to roll all the way over the line.
The official called it off from almost half freaking field, how could he possibly have seen that?!
wow, Ching flubs an absolute sitter. but did it go over the line? very close. Ching really should have buried that one and left no doubt.
It was nasty and dynamo with another. 2 – 0
and yes! Ching! on a nice nutmeg assist from Clark
