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.
