Sporting KC defender Saad Abdul-Salaam was stunned after missing a penalty shot that hit both posts but somehow stayed out of the net during a dramatic shootout that decided Thursday night's MLS Western Conference knockout round match against Portland.
The television announcer summed it up best: "Es increíble!"
After being locked in a 2-2 draw at the end of extra time, the match was decided by what will likely go down as the greatest shootout in MLS history. Portland won the shootout 7-6, with a record 22 players attempted penalty kicks. It all came down to the goalkeepers, with Portland's KC's Adam Kwarasey making his shot and Jon Kempin missing his.
Here's the full shootout for your enjoyment:
H/T Dirty Tackle.
