Major League Soccer announced tonight that Orlando City goalkeeper Pedro Gallese has won the 2022 MLS Save of the Year award. Established in 2009, the award was voted on by fans on mlssoccer.com. The award was for Gallese’s stop on Dom Dwyer during the teams 1-1 draw against Atlanta United FC on July 17. Gallese becomes the second Lion to win the award, joining Joe Bendik in 2016.
After earning a road point in Colorado during the midweek, the Lions took an early lead in that game when Mauricio Pereyra scored off a free kick in the 10th minute.
