Orlando City centerback Rodrigo Schlegel eagerly tugged on the goalkeeper gloves, his face scrunched up in concentration as he jogged toward the goal during the final minutes of the first MLS playoff match in club history.
Behind him, the Wall roared in support as the 23-year-old shouldered the jersey and expectations of star goalkeeper Pedro Gallese.
During the first penalty kick taken by Nicolás Acevedo, Schlegel didn’t even jump. During the second shot, however, he threw his body airborne, flinging out both gloves to block away the game-winning shot.
The game wasn’t won quite yet — homegrown winger Benji Michel was the one to ice the win a minute later.
