Joe Willis hailed after making "very important" save in Texas Derby
Joe Willis may not be brought up in many conversations about the best goalkeepers in MLS, but one thing is certain — the man has a knack for stopping penalties.
In the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs, Willis came into the game after first choice D.C. United ‘keeper Bill Hamid got a red card. Willis stopped the ensuing penalty kick and kept a clean sheet to secure D.C. United’s playoff win.
Last season, during the Western Conference Championship, Willis once again came up huge when he saved a penalty against the Seattle Sounders — although the Houston Dynamo would end up losing the game.
