The midfielder's future teammate Julio Enciso played alongside him and helped grab a crucial three points on the road to 2026. 

Gomez spoke about the goal and how it was something he had dreamed of since childhood. 

"It’s one of the best goals of my career. 

“It’s a goal I have dreamed about since I was a boy, to be here with my national team, scoring a goal here in the Defensores (Stadium). 

“I don’t have words for this.” 

Gomez's move to the Seagulls will be confirmed when the January transfer window opens as he remains at MLS side Inter Miami for the time being.
