Karl W. Ouimette goal celebration vs Philadelphia Union





Impact defender Karl W.Ouimette could not have picked a better time to score his first-ever MLS goal against Philadelphia in the 84th minute. Read what he had to say about his game-winning goal.


On getting the start…

Coming into the game, I felt that the coaching staff had confidence in me and that confidence gave me wings today. They asked me to play a position that I never played before in a game. It was an incredible feeling.


On scoring his first MLS goal...

I actually dreamt about it. I pictured it in my head. I didn’t sleep last night and I dreamt of scoring a big goal for the team. When the play unfolded, I didn’t think, it was all instinct. Afterwards, I didn’t know what to do! I’m glad that the guys jumped on me because I had no idea of what I would have done.
