MLS fan pulls off incredible football feat during half-time challenge

A San Jose Earthquakes fan upstaged his team and left the crowd stunned with a half-time effort at their game against Portland Timbers.

Four supporters were given the challenge of kicking a ball from the penalty area to as close to the centre of the pitch as they could. The first was long, the second was well right of the mark, and the third agonisingly short and to the left. The fourth kick however, was a masterclass in precision, with the ball stopping dead on the mark.

The best thing I've ever seen in MLS history

Never thought I'd see the day people playing curling on a football pitch, but there we are

I watched this live. What an incredible feat!! To win the contest, he had to kick the ball from the center to the goal again. Of course, it was easy for him 😀👌🏼👌🏼🎉.

Chelsea have officially just offered 500 million on a 50 year deal

[jacksontong]

I feel bad for whoever placed the ball a couple of yards away and thought they had won before this happened

[clipcoug]

But can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?

This is one of those moments where the internet can come together and just be happy.

[Atmos_Glitch]

The fact that it was also dead on the center of it too!

[goku]

Wow. That's honestly multiple times harder than scoring from half court a basketball.

[BowmanHath]

Messi’s MLS career has been I overshadowed before its even begun!

[chriscope]

that’s the first thing iv thought would be a great idea from the mls for fans in the prem to be involved in at half time

[Zaitgeist]

Its MLS, he was probably the best player that pitch witnessed

[kallemetsahalme]

he has practiced that his entire life. forget dribbles or shots to the ceiling corner, millimeter accurate pushes is the deal

[tomhammond]

We've been doing this at Hadley FC since 2017 but with throwing tennis balls instead of kicking footballs.

So far we have had 3 fans get their ball exactly on the centre spot. Last time it happened was over 2 years ago though.

[gabillos]

I wanted to see the guy's reaction too

[EthanTrewhitt]

So strange to get this amazing shot and the sound of someone being murdered live in the same video!

[Argooh]

That cry sounded like a dying soldier in the first C&C game.

[drew-shourd]

Great shot but why keep the camera on the ball after it stopped? We wanted to see the shooters reaction!!

[SPVLaboratories]

magnets bro that's the only way... insane

[syahmimisnan]

Legend says he still do the same kick to the middle of the field everytime he in the field.
