Santiago Patiño makes most of rookie experience with Orlando City

Rookie seasons can be hard to predict. Santiago Patiño has learned to embrace constant changes during his first season with Orlando City.

His minutes have been scattered and intermittent, earning a start in his first month of play followed by long stretches of waiting on the bench. Throughout the season, however, the forward has made the most of his time, even if that means clean-up minutes at the end of road games.

Patiño scored his first goal as an 81st minute sub on the road in Philadelphia, rocketing in a shot with his first touch of the game.
