KC Wizards Defeat Crew in Stoppage Time
September 16, 2007 by Ole · 3 Comments
Two goals in stoppage time sealed a much needed victory for the Kansas City Wizards, who defeated the Columbus Crew Saturday. The Crew held what looked to be the necessary margin for a win with a 2-1 lead at the end of regulation until an Eddie Johnson penalty kick tied the match three minutes into extra time.
One minute later Scott Sealy, from a cross by Eddie Johnson, got his second goal of the night sealing a dramatic win. This is just the third time in MLS history a team had come from behind after trailing at the 90-minute mark with the winning goals in stoppage time. The Wizards 36 points on the season put them in good position to hold their place in the postseason race.

The Wiz were gifted the equalizer with a PK opportunity. I’m not sure that Greg Louganis could have made a better dive.
However, the game winner was beautiful.
One of the best endings to a game I have ever seen. Dive or not, thats the game of soccer. Wonderful, just wonderful!
