The Orlando coach sent replacement goalkeeper Brian Rowe into the fray, but then it became clear to the referee that in a penalty shootout a substitution should not be made, except in the case of injury and not dismissal.
Oscar Prada Orlando coach broke his head what to do and then decided to put Rodrigo Schlagel in the goal, the Argentine defender who came in as a substitute only in overtime and told the coach that "he was a goalkeeper once in academia".
Schegel entered the net and Kastenius easily subdued him and then Nani, who scored a penalty early in the game, missed from the penalty spot and so the penalty shootout continued.
After two more successful penalties, Schegel read the Icelandic Toraninson's penalty correctly and took it out of the connections and Mitchell sent Orlando to the next stage, but there is no doubt who the real hero of this game is.
Oscar Farrah referred to the great drama that took place and revealed after the game: "Rodrigo told me 'Papi, I can do it'. He told me he was a goalkeeper at the academy, so we gave him the gloves and we prayed."
After the game, Gal revealed to his coach that he lied at all and never stood as a goalkeeper in an official game. "
Even Nani, who experienced a thing or two in football, said:" I have never experienced anything like this during a game, not even in such important games.
" Thinking about it too much, "Schlegel said after the game," after I managed to fend off the penalty, I thought we won and I was happy.
But we had to wait for the decisive kick and then we had a huge burst of joy.
We thought how lucky we were. "The Orlando players were in a frenzy not only because of the great drama, but because it was the team's first win ever in the playoffs.
