Thanks to a suddenly outgrown Fernando Tapia in goal, Querétaro overcame New England in a PK shootout after things ended 1-1 in regulation. Both clubs scored their first 3 attempts, and that’s when Tapia decided to make his superheroe entrance. Nacho Gil was set to take the Revolution’s fourth PK and executed brilliantly to his bottom left corner. Unfortunately for him, Tapia guessed the shot’s direction and deflected the ball of the post and back into his firm grasp. Gallos never looked back from there and Tapia stopped the next PK taken by Ian Harkes to clinch the victory.
