Watch: Spectacular Nagbe free kick keeps Portland Timbers alive in CCL

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.
