With an upset looming, Orange County SC dazzled the estimated 3,400 fans at Championship Soccer Stadium at the Orange County Great Park in Irvine.

First, defender Noah Powder leveled the match with a free kick that beat goalkeeper Bryan Byars at the far post.

Next, with momentum suddenly shifting to Orange County’s side, Quinn stunned Oklahoma City.

With the orange smoke still hovering from Powder’s goal, the Orange County SC star midfielder unleashed a left-footed effort from outside the penalty area. The shot bounced past Byars and sparked a massive celebration from the supporters, players and coaches.

Orange County SC now sits atop the USL’s Western Conference with 54 points, one ahead of Real Monarchs SLC and Phoenix Rising FC.
