VIDEO: Big parade in MLS! Shaqiri’s goal from the middle of the field with a minute and a half left in regulation decided the winner in a dramatic duel

Although soccer is still underrated overseas, the American MLS offers great soccer moments and attractive matches with great drama. This was confirmed on Saturday night in the match between Chicago and Columbus.

MLS is going to be a very interesting few months. Lionel Messi has signed for Inter Miami and although this is one of the worst teams overseas, it will be a big boost for football in America and will definitely increase attention and interest in this competition.

After all, the signing of Messi had an immediate impact on social media and thanks to that, a great football moment from the Chicago Fire’s match with the Columbus Crew is now flying around the world.

Chicago is having a bad year, the second worst team in the Eastern Conference. Columbus is much better off, now in sixth place, guaranteeing a direct qualification to the playoffs.

However, the duel offered more drama than initially expected. The first goal was waited for until the 59th minute and was scored by Cucho, who sent Columbus into the lead.

But Chicago didn’t want to give points to their opponent cheaply and in the 88th minute Xherdan Shaqiri, a former Bayern Munich and Liverpool player, very well known to European fans, scored.

With four minutes to go and just over a minute to go in regulation, the fans were treated to an unexpected and awesome moment. Midfielder Lucas Zelarayán got to the ball in his own half and almost sent the ball into the opponent’s net from the halfway line.

Columbus could celebrate a sensational win after a wonderful goal. Zelarayán continues his excellent performance from this season, with 8 goals and 6 assists in 15 games.
