They say seeing is believing, but what Ercan Kara did in the 90th minute of Wednesday's Concacaf Champions League match for Orlando City was downright unbelievable.
With everything on the line in a do-or-die second leg against Tigres UANL, the striker came off the bench and delivered arguably the play of the season -- and his biggest moment in purple -- with a miracle golazo that will be talked about in Orlando for years to come.
As Facundo Torres put toe to ball on a corner kick at the 88:56 mark, the shot sailed high into a sea of orange and purple uniforms before bouncing off a head and right to a waiting Kara just in front of the net.
No. 9 didn't miss.
Kara turned his back to the Tigres defense, dropped backward and connected a perfectly-timed bicycle kick, sending a shot sailing into the top-right corner of the net and the home crowd of 18,000-plus into a frenzy.
"Oh, what a goal for Orlando ... Kara, that is outside of your wildest imagination!" television play-by-play broadcaster Mike Watts exclaimed on the FS2 national broadcast, his voice cracking. "Finally!"
Though the world-class tally wasn't enough to push the Lions into the quarterfinals with Tigres advancing on the tournament's away-goals rule, the moment left the soccer community stunned -- with likely a few mouths agape.
Here's a round-up of the best reaction to Kara's kick from around social media:
