If Darlington Nagbe had a grudge with the crossbar, he just landed a knockout punch by way of a rocket shot, as the Portland Timbers firecracker opened the scoring with a brilliant individual effort at the expense of Cascadia Cup rival side Vancouver Whitecaps.
Nagbe had quite a few Whitecaps players in front of him after he picked up the ball in front of goal, but some nifty movement and a shake-off of defender Kendall Waston opened the doors for this long-range drive off the bar and down.
It's Nagbe's second goal of the season, but it may very well be his best effort of 2017 - it'll be hard to top this goal, that's for certain.
