We're not quite sure if Portland Timbers attacker Lucas Melano took a tumble here on purpose or just managed to catch his "fall" with a quick bit of acrobatic flair.
What we do know is that this little sequence during the Timbers' eventual 2-2 draw with Real Salt Lake is, well ... silly.
Melano feels the slight shove on his back from Chris Wingert, whips his head towards the referee's direction and then takes a tumble just a fraction too late to be natural, resulting in this comical rolling dive.
