Santiago Patino made his MLS debut on Saturday, coming on for center back Shane O’Neill in the 74th minute. Although he couldn’t rally the team back from a two-goal deficit in Orlando’s 3-1 loss against Montreal, the 22-year-old Freedom High School product was impressive in his short time on the pitch, despite getting only seven touches on the ball.
It took him a few minutes to get up to game speed, but Patino finished with an assist — giving Dom Dwyer an easy tap-in — a shot, and a chance created in his first professional outing.
