Cristian Roldan hits yet another wonder strike for the Seattle Sounders

Cristian Roldan is just hitting bangers for fun nowadays.


In the 5th minute of Saturday’s home match against the Houston Dynamo, the Seattle Sounders and US national team midfielder smashed a 25-yard volley into the top corner. He first collected a cleared corner kick with his chest, let the ball take a bounce and made no mistake on the dipping finish. Joe Willis stood no chance.


This is second straight week that Roldan, 23, has hit a jaw-dropping strike. In last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Minnesota United FC, he let the ball come across his body and hit a clean-as-can-be shot that faded away from Vito Mannone.

Roldan now has 17 goals and 17 assists throughout his regular-season career in MLS. The box-to-box midfielder, certainly not short on confidence, has added some world-class strikes to the highlight reel.
