Real Salt Lake managed a nerve-testing victory over Wilmington Hammerheads yesterday, going through on penalties after coming back from a 2-0 deficit.
First things first, here’s video for the shootout — it’s a good one, and you should watch it.
How cheeky is this? Wingert — who I never expected to be in the first-five penalty rotation — is calm, collected, and makes no mistake with his dispatching of the penalty. If you’d told me that we’d win the match when Wingert put a penalty down the middle after sending the goalkeeper the wrong way, I would have been a bit confused.
