More than 30 minutes.

That's how long LA Galaxy star Riqui Puig played with a torn ACL during last Saturday's Western Conference final against the Seattle Sounders. More than 30 minutes in which the energetic 25-year-old Spaniard somehow maintained his buzzing movement, clever control of the ball, and eventually, a game-winning assist for a 1-0 victory.

Puig carried on, and whether it be due to adrenaline or a desire to continue conducting the attack as he so often does, he provided a moment of extraterrestrial-like magic that decided an invitation to this weekend's MLS Cup final.
