It's true that scoring a goal costs a fortune, so the one scored by Mexican David Rodriguez in extra time to help Atletico Ottawa win the North Star Cup in the Canadian Premier League with a spectacular scissors kick in the snow could very well be a contender for the Puskas Award for Goal of the Year.

Without a doubt, a remarkable effort from the Mexican striker who, along with former FC Juarez coach Diego Mejia, who managed 22 Liga MX matches (winning five, drawing four, and losing 13), led the Ottawa team through a tremendous snowstorm that added great drama to the match and made the Mexican striker's stunning goal all the most impressive.

Rodriguez scored one of the two goals in the 2-1 victory over reigning champion Cavalry FC of Calgary at TD Place Stadium, which was covered in heavy snowfall during the first natural disaster of the year. Snowplows were needed to allow extra time to be played when the storm was at its peak, leaving an unforgettable memory for the Mexican striker: "I will never forget this night. I just want to thank everyone who came out tonight." But just six minutes later came Rodriguez's spectacular goal. Brazilian Gabriel Antonaro sent a long ball into the box, which the Mexican finished with a bicycle kick in a brilliant play that undoubtedly deserves to be a contender for the Puskas Award for the best goal of the year. Even Atletico Ottawa's manager, fellow Mexican Diego Mejia, described it as the best goal in the history of the Canadian Premier League, where the newly crowned team is part of the same group as Atletico de Madrid of La Liga and Atletico San Luis of Liga MX, and where Mejia won his first title.

David Rodriguez is a footballer born in San Luis Potosi who plays as an attacking midfielder and who shone in the Canadian Football League final,giving Atletico Ottawa the title with two spectacular goals.

In the midst of a snowstorm that hit TD Place, David Rodriguez scored a stunning bicycle kick to momentarily tie the game for his team against Cavalry. Then, in extra time, he scored his second goal of the night, beating the goalkeeper with a lobbed shot.

According to Canadian media reports on social media, a total of 173 countries followed the details of the Canadian football final, with an audience of 786 million people, in what was a heroic feat by the Mexican striker.
