Orlando City went from the elation of having beaten New York City FC in penalties to the panic of seeing goalkeeper Pedro Gallese sent off with a second yellow card for daring to move his boots a fraction of an inch off the goal line. Defender Rodrigo Schlegel told Oscar Pareja, “Papi, I can do that,” and was given a goalkeeper’s jersey, some gloves, and sent out to face talented NYCFC striker Valentin Castellanos.
Schlegel certainly didn’t look like a goalkeeper on the ensuing Castellanos penalty, and disbelief and worry set in when Sean Johnson’s diving save prevented Nani from winning the shootout on the next kick.
