Watch The Insane Goal That Led To A Historic Win For America
Wow. U-S-A. U-S-A.
1. This is Djimi Traore (on the left). He plays for the Seattle Sounders of the MLS.
2. The Sounders are in the CONCACAF Champions League, where they’ve been taking on Mexico’s Tigres.
3. An American team has never knocked out a Mexican team in the Champions League. And last night as the Sounders trailed 1-0, it looked like that pattern would continue.
But then the Sounders tied the game at 1. And rather than stop there, we got to see one of the craziest goals in American soccer history put them ahead for good.
5. Tigres thought they cleared the ball, but unfortunately for them it went right to Djimi Traore.
6. No big deal, right? Djimi Traore has only scored 2 goals in his entire career leading up to this and he’s like 35-yards away with practically the whole team in front of him…
7. GOOOOOOOOAL.
8. See it from another crazy angle.
9. One more.
The Sounders went on to win 3-1.
11. Why so sad, Tigres? Did you just become the first Mexican team to get eliminated by an American one?

Rachel Walls 2 months agoI was at this game and it was amazing! Traore technically “tied” the game at 2-1 since the Sounders needed to win by 2 to advance. Eddie Johnson sealed the deal later with an equally impressive goal. Nail-biter all the way. Loving Traore and Yedlin—great additions to the team! Go Sounders!

Malian player scores a goal for a club team made up of lots of different nationalities, which in no way affiliated with American national soccer = Historic win for America. American logic. Fair play to Traore. He’s come a long from own goals against Burnley. (Even if he completely failed to control the ball initially)

They did it against a Tigres side that traveled with just 16 players and left many of its starters in Mexico. Tigres played the entire second half with just 10-men after Manuel Viniegra was given a second yellow card in the 45th minute…
…Tigres coach Ricardo Ferretti gave credit to Seattle for the win, but was critical of referee Elmer Bonilla.
”I don’t want to take away anything from Seattle’s victory. They didn’t need this type of help,” Ferretti said through an interpreter. ”But playing against 12 is a little bit harder.” -

It’s OK though, because the US men’s soccer team rarely beats anybody. The women’s team is the best in the world, but that’s only fair: they put women’s soccer on the map in the first place.
