No contest: Octavio Rivero's stoppage-time winner vs. Orlando crowned MLS Goal of the Week

Octavio Rivero celebration vs. Orlando

The latest MLS Goal of the Week race is run, and it wasn't a particularly close one. 


Vancouver Whitecaps FC's Uruguayan striker Octavio Rivero is this week's champ, as his diving, flicked, ingenious, last-gasp header to beat Orlando City SC in stoppage time cruised to an easy victory with more than half the total votes cast. 


The goal, Rivero's third in as many games, earned a whopping 58.27 per cent of the vote. 


Can Rivero make it four goals in four games? Find out on Saturday when Whitecaps FC take on Portland Timbers at BC Place (5 p.m. PT kickoff - TSN1 and TSN 1410 radio).
