A man walks to the goal after 120 minutes of exhilarating and exhausting football.
D.C. United, reborn following the move to their new stadium and the signing of Wayne Rooney that past summer, had done the impossible and gone from the bottom of the Eastern Conference and made it to the Playoffs.
But now they were faced with a penalty-shootout against the Columbus Crew.
They battered their Ohio-based opponents for the majority of the game, but after taking the game into extra-time at 1-1 and then both teams scoring again to make it 2-2, penalties would ultimately decide who progressed to the next round.
For D.C. United, the nerves kicked in, for Columbus Crew goalkeeper Zack Steffen, he knew the game was already won.
