MLS quarter final between Orlando and NEW York City. Ten man Orlando get the match to a penalty shoot out.
New York miss their first pen and we’re down to the last of the five. NYC need to score to stay in the game.
Orlando keeper saves NYC’s last penalty in the shoot out, Orlando are through. players are celebrating, coach has run dow the tunnel then VAR raises its ugly head.
VAR says the keeper’s a couple of inches off his line. Ref then calls for the pen to be taken again and adds insult to injury and books the keeper for coming off his line (I didn’t think that was a book able offence) who has already been booked. Red card. After a few minutes confusion Orlando then bring on sub keeper and just as the kick is about to be taken the Ref is told they can’t bring on a sub during a penalty shootout/Orlando have used all their subs. chaos as they have to check the rules and then an outfield player goes in goal. NY score
Nani steps up for Orlando’s fifth pen (scores they’re through) then their keeper saves an Orlando pen having come off his line just the same as the Orlando keeper but no VAR review. 2nd pen In sudden death the outfield player for Orlando who’s gone in goal miraculously saves then the Ref blows the whilste for FT forgetting Orlando still have to take their penalty.
Then after the second lot of celebrations begin he counts the penalties in his book again and realises there’s still a penalty to go.
Orlando eventually step up to take the final penalty, they score and and go through. The absolute maddest penalty shootout of all time 24 minutes for 7 pens each. Bonkers!
