3.13.2013: Djimi Traore's First Club Goal Blasts Seattle Into Champions League Semis
The 33 year old, Djimi Traore, has played professionally in England and France for the likes of Liverpool, Portsmouth, and AS Monaco.
But, tonight he did something, that he has done for no club ever, he scored a goal.
And not just any goal, but rather something from out of this world..
Traore's wonder goal (his first in 169 professional appearances) helped send the Seattle Sounders onto the Concacaf Champions League Semifinals tonight, as Seattle downed Tigres of Mexico by a 3-2 aggregate in the Quarterfinals.
The Quarterfinals win was the first knockout stage victory for a MLS club over a Mexican opponent, in the current CONCACAF Champions League format.
Oh yeah, a 19 year old homegrown Seattle player, defender DeAndre Yedlin, backed up a MLS Player of the Week award in Week 1, with a not so shabby golazo himself:
