With one swift kick of his right foot, Darlington Nagbe kept the Portland Timbers alive in the CONCACAF Champions League.
The U.S. men's national team midfielder delivered a 90th-minute winner for Portland against El Salvador's CD Dragon, capping a come-from-behind victory and securing a vital three points as the club looks to advance to the knockout stage. The result sets up a head-to-head group finale with Costa Rican power Saprissa for first place and advancement. Portland trails Saprissa by a point but would have trailed by three and a massive goal differential had Nagbe not come through.
His free kick from about 25 yards found the upper left-hand corner of the net, sparking a cathartic Timbers celebration.
