LE SCAN SPORT – American Kellyn Acosta scored an improbable goal to give Chicago victory in stoppage time against Montreal last night (4-3).
The MLS, the American football championship for those who are not yet familiar with it, often offers goals that are improbable to say the least. Certainly the one registered on the night of Saturday to Sunday in France by the American Kellyn Acosta falls into this category.
As stoppage time came to an end after more than eight additional minutes, the score was still tied between Chicago and Montreal at the end of an already quite crazy and spectacular match (3-3). 60 meters from the opposing goal, the Chicago Fire player then sent a long ball intended, normally, for one of his partners on the right flank…
Except that the wind was blowing strong, very strong apparently, on Soldier Field in Chicago. So much so that what was only supposed to be a last chance long ball, like a bottle thrown into the sea, turned into a strike surprising the Montreal Impact goalkeeper, Jonathan Sirois, who was both disoriented and lobbed by the unpredictable trajectory of the sphere. And the Illinois club pulled off an almost unexpected victory (4-3) in this real twist of fate for the Canadian team.
