Brandon Vázquez is off to an unbelievable start with new club Rayados and the striker just showed he’s worth what the Liga MX club paid for him this winter. He scored one of the best headers we’ve seen in a while.
USMNT striker Brandon Vázquez scored two for CF Monterrey in their Liga MX home match against Atlético San Luis this Saturday, becoming the league’s top goalscorer (3) after just two matches as a starter this season.
After scoring in his home debut against Quéretaro last weekend, the 25-year-old gained the confidence of manager Tano Ortíz to continue as the club’s main attacking threat and boy did he deliver. You're gonna wanna watch this.
Watch: Brandon Vázquez scores incredible header vs. Atletico San Luis
We can’t remember the last time we’ve seen a header scored from this far of a distance from goal.
At just the 15th minute, a curled-cross from the left flank, found by Vázquez at the edge of the 18-yard-box, ended in one of the most insane headed finishes we’ve seen in a long time.

This was just one of two goals the former Cincinnati man scored Saturday night, with the American regaining La Pandilla’s lead just minutes after conceding to San Luis to double his tally.
Seven minutes after losing the lead, a great pass from teammate Jorge Rodríguez to Vázquez left the striker clear on goal and with nothing left but a cool finish to seal his first brace in Mexico.

Calm, cool and collected.
The American's double would go on to help Monterrey win the game 3-1, with Vázquez named as the game's MVP.
