Controversial. It did not come to more, but a greater problem could be untied. Orlando City from Peruvian Pedro Gallese managed to advance to the semifinals of the ‘MLS is Back’, after beating 5-4 in the definition from the penalty spot, after 1 to 1 in regulation time, thanks to a goal by Nani, whose celebration did not go down well with the rivals at all.
The Portuguese exManchester United, among others, who missed a shot in the same way in the 90’s, managed to score the fifth penalty goal and immediately shot towards the center of the field with his hand to his ear. This celebration was taken as provocation and mockery by the LA FC players, who came to claim him.
Thus, in the midst of the celebrations of the Orlando box, a riot arose among some players who tried to rebuke Nani, and even Pedro Gallese had to ask for calm. Finally, it did not happen to major.
A ‘semis’
Orlando City came to be on the ropes but lifted the game to a 1-1 draw in the 90th minute with a header from Portuguese Joao Moutinho, who countered the starting target for veteran English forward Bradley Wright-Phillips in the 60th.
With this victory, the team led by the Colombian Oscar Couple, will face on August 6 in the semifinals the winner of Saturday’s quarterfinal between San José Earthquakes, by Argentine coach Matías Almeyda, and Minnesota United.
