The Portland Timbers went the distance against Sporting Kansas City last night, finally sealing the win in the eleventh round of penalties as Adam Kwarasey converted his own spot kick before saving the attempt of Sporting keeper Jon Kempin.
It was a crazy ending to a crazy game and one that will stick with us all for a long time. This morning, the buzz from the match was still strong as you can tell from these tweets from the players.
Still wow wow wow. The morning after. What a crazy and great night. Time to do all we can to rest up and get ready for Sunday #playoffs

If you are anything like these guys, and I think you are, it is now time to relive those penalties before clearing your head and moving on to thinking about the Vancouver Whitecaps and Sunday afternoon.
