I remember going to a small strip-mall sports bar in Tigard, OR to watch the game. Soccer was a "pussy sport" according to the regulars there, who were watching football and basketball. The bartender put the Timbers game onto a smaller TV in a corner for me, and I was the only one watching. By the time Urruti scored the equalizer in the 2nd half of overtime, I had a small group of guys with me that had found it interesting. By the 2nd round of the shootout, the entire bar was glued to every TV turned to the game. Screaming with every make and miss. The double-post miss almost broke the bar. I was mobbed with hugs and free beers when Kwarsey saved Kempin's last shot. I made soccer and Timbers fans that night.

Im a timbers fan for life, but gotta give props to the KC goalie, he was just 22 years old and just a backup for KC. He saved multiple penalties, and performed very well

My blood pressure found new, incredible heights on this day.

As soon as that ball hit two posts, you know there was something special going on in Portland this year. Cool to see them win the MLS Cup.

Long live our savior, Adam Kwarasey. Good luck in Norway!

Watching this for the 5th time and still in shock

Back again. I think I watch this once every 6 months... just about. Audio level is pretty tame compared to how it really was in the stands and on the field. Trust me, the noise level was a major factor on those players' nerves.

The most dramatic thing I've ever seen in any sport, period. Timbers supporters have been so loyal for so long. We deserve this. #PTFC

Even though I'm a Chelsea supporter and not a huge fan of MLS, I've lived in Portland since 78' so naturally the Timbers became my adopted side. I go way back to the NASL days before old Civic Stadium was renovated and used to watch John Bain, WIllie Anderson, the Gant brothers, Cho-Young Jeung, Clive Charles and so many others play on that raggedy covered concrete green pitch when general admission tickets were $6.00. These penalties against KC were crazy agonizing and I lived and died with each one. Most amazing penalty shoot-out I've ever witnessed. 2020 maybe a really good one, with the new Polish striker coming in for the Timbers. Kind of excited for MLS this season even though I still got three months of the Premier League schedule left and my Chelsea team hanging on by a thread. How about that Pulisic kid? If we could just keep him healthy he may turn out to be a very nice player in the EPL.

Lol my heart still beats so fast watching this a year later knowing exactly what happened. This was the best soccer match I have ever seen, especially being a timbers fan.

I've enjoyed watching this league grow as the USA finally catches on to a sport that many American people forever thought was too low scoring to be exciting. The low scores allows these moments though, when everything can teeter on a knife edge for so long. Anybody American or otherwise who followed this league and watched that game will defend the sport of association football for a long time!

I was there and my voice was shot for a week afterward. The single most nerve-wracking, surreal (the double post!) and ultimately thrilling sporting event I have attended in my life. And not just for the PK shootout - the game itself was great, too.

I remember not studying for my massive analytics exam... I got a 60... Tbh it was worth it and Im not even a Timbers fan. Probably the most crazy game I've ever seen.

11:20 .....The time physics was broken

This is quite incredible:!!.Amazing stuff!! As a Ghanaian am really happy for Kwarasey

legend says the posts are still vibrating.

Even as a Sounders (till I die) fan I got to give mad respect to the Timbers for this win. I thought our game against LA was stressful!

I was in 207 behind the goal for this and I'm pretty sure I'll never witness anything it for the rest of my life. Never have I high-fived so many random strangers.

I watch this video at least once a week and it gives me Goose Bumps -- Goose Hollow Bumps that is -- every single time.

i was there, this was the most exciting sporting event I have ever seen. I think my heart stopped several times though, rctid

2018. Still gets me hyped every time I see it. And I know I’m biased by being a huge timbers fan, but this game has got to be one of the best MLS games ever...I mean COME ON! This shootout and Urruti’s goal at the end of added time just make this an insane game to watch

This is the day I found how high my stress level could get 😹 I'm just so happy we won the whole thing. RTCID

As a big soccer fan of liga mx and most of the leagues in the UEFA I can honestly say that these mls games are so much funner to watch than most of the other games

This and Damians dagger to Houston are my 2 most favorite sporting moments watching live. So many emotions!

I was there, I've watched this footage over five times, and it still gives me chills! RCTID!

This is freaking exciting. Forget about Baseball, hockey and American football, Soccer is booming in USA.

Even watching this again, nearly 3 years later... my heart still skips a beat.

you've got to give kempin credit for being only 22 and performing like that

Just re-watched this and relived every kick, every miss, and every block. Hair on the back of my neck is standing, and tears are falling. I think we're ready for the season 2016 season!!!

i can watch this over and over

I watch this and know what happens, yet I still get nervous. RCTID

Heart rate found numbers I didn’t think were possible that night. Love this damn team RCTID

Wow craziest shoutout ever!!

im from malaysia.. damn..i loved portland timber

This is the most my heart has ever beat and it still does 7 years later brownfield a diehard Timbers fan who was in the stadium at the time.

Watched this again for Nat Brochers .. we salute you PTFC

my heart stopped a couple times in that night

Still the greatest sporting event I have ever witnessed.

Wow!Kwarasey looks more confident, focused and determined than I remember him from the World Cup in Brazil.

Still as awesome to watch now as it was then. What a legendary moment!

I knew the Timbers were gonna do something special when they beat the Galaxy in LA (and I was at that game too). I was looking at my phone during choir practice for this one, trying to get updates. When they finally won it, I started singing.

As a timbers fan that was sooo nerve racking to watch

Watching this during the pandemic all these years later and I still need a change of underwear. Home of the FIRST MLS Champs in Cascadia RCTID!!

Truly an EPIC in penalty shootouts. I laugh when people watch Baseball. Soccer is the real excitement.

Your a king if your watching this in 2021 Portland was just in the finals and lost to NYC

amazing penalty definition, congrats timber ¡¡

Отличная серия пенальти👍

Thanks for spoiling the final score by putting it in the title

Never gets old. Rewatching for good vibes going into the western conference finals against RSL!

Unbelievable. Amazing. Spectacular. And a little bit of luck. #PTFC

Back in 2021, heart is still pounding and nerves still shot. What a game! 👏PT👏FC👏

Talk about a pucker-factor, no wonder Nagbe couldn't watch. I've never seen a shootout like this one.........and that includes the former NASL era from the 70's. Timbers had a great lineup in 2015, too bad so many (from that squad) are gone in 2020.

It was our destiny all along.

La galaxy fan but timbers is my second favorite team

This match serves as an example why soccer is the sport king for this planet, its just overwhelmingly exciting and dramatic.

11:21 that will never happen again

Big Beard Borchers!! I love the salute...

Wow.Keeper vs Keeper.Wow.

Felicitaciones saludos desde Argentina

It's 2018 and I just found this video after watching the PK shootout between Croatia and Denmark, ano I am sure goalkeeping is still the most fascinating job on a football field... and congrats to all the survivors because that was nerve wracking x.x

I still remember the energy

Love you boys! RCTID!!!

I feel bad for the kc keeper

That was dope

Waooooo what a game ever played in history

Did anyone hear him like laugh when he said now he must score 😂

Most intense shootout I have ever seen especially for the MLS

I kid you not (I’m not lying) this was my first professional soccer game I had ever been to.

We were at this game

As a union fan, it makes me very happy to see Kansas lose on penalties :-)

My dear pal Simone Faggiani told me to watch this. Well gee willikers I'll be damned, things got more rowdy than two possums in mating season! Really enjoying this soccer thing!

Has become a Annual thing to watch this

What a shootout!! 👍

reliving this again (:

can't believe this. you r such a lucky as heaven.

He was about to celebrate 11:22

I am not fan of any of those teams but I really did feel the drama, the pressure, the agony of every shoot out. Unbelievable. I can image how strong feelings the fans was going through and I cannot image how high the players them selves were suffering. Exciting part of clubs history.

2023 and I still get nervous watching it

fkin saw it in kempin's face he was nervous as hell.

Interesting shootouts

Unbelievable!

I was there

Crazy how all the 11 players shot a penalty😮

anyone know what gloves kwarsey, the one in the orange, is wearing

It’s funny to watch this back and see both keepers getting further and further off the line with each penalty and the linesman never raises his flag. Kempin was so far off his line on Powell’s penalty (the one right before the Double Post) that he got there before the ball did.

I'm not a fan of neither team and this was awesome!!!⚽️👍

thinking about this after 2021 mls cup

I nearly had an heart attack 🤣

so freaking amazing but now bring on vancouver

who’s here when this video says 6 yrs ago in 2022

I never tire of watching this! 💚💛

11:20 Kick, Doink, Doink, NO!!!!!!!!

great Quarasey

As an Rsl fan this makes me very happy

11:20 Pain.

Deh yah fi alvas 🇯🇲

Wait. Isn't skc western conference?

I grew up playing soccer till my mid twenties and can say that I’ve seen that happen before, soccer practice or some meaningless game. But not at this level and definitely not with everything on the line like this was.

11:20 I cried

Go sporting!
